Submit to APIs.guru
APIs.guru is an open, community-run catalog of machine-readable web API definitions, mostly in OpenAPI format, that other tools and developers pull from through its own API. Getting added means your public API spec is indexed, kept in sync on a regular schedule and discoverable by developers and API tooling that consume the catalog.

Open the APIs.guru submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Have your assets ready
Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse APIs.guru (Developers and API tool builders looking for public API definitions), not for search engines.
Wait, then check
We couldn’t confirm how listings are reviewed. Once yours is live, check the details and that the link points to the right page.
Tips for APIs.guru
- You need a stable public URL to a machine-readable spec (OpenAPI/Swagger, RAML, API Blueprint and similar); the catalog links to it rather than hosting it.
- Say whether the definition is official (published by the API owner) or third-party when you fill in the form.
- Provide a square SVG or PNG logo URL; it is shown at up to 100x100px.
From APIs.guru’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for developer tool directories.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- Links to your docs and a quick-start or install command
- Your GitHub or GitLab repo, if public
- Supported languages, frameworks and platforms
- Pricing for the API or hosted tier, including free limits
Is APIs.guru worth it?
We couldn’t verify the link
We didn’t find a live listing we could inspect, so we don’t know whether APIs.guru links are followed. Judge it on audience and effort, and check your own listing’s link once it’s live.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 70 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
- Free to list, so the only cost is your time.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
