This repository is a Chinese translation of the popular public-apis project, augmented with APIs commonly used in China. It serves as a comprehensive, community-curated directory of free and paid APIs across numerous categories, aiming to be the go-to resource for developers and users seeking API integrations.

How It Works

The project functions as a curated list, meticulously organized by category. Each API entry includes its name, a brief description, authentication method, and HTTPS support. The primary value lies in its extensive catalog and the inclusion of Chinese-specific services, making it particularly useful for developers targeting the Chinese market or integrating with local services.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository itself is likely under a permissive open-source license (e.g., MIT, Apache), but the licensing of the individual APIs listed varies significantly, as indicated by the Auth column (e.g., apiKey, OAuth, or None). Users must consult the terms of each individual API service for compatibility and usage restrictions.

Limitations & Caveats

As a curated list, the accuracy and availability of the listed APIs are dependent on external services and community contributions. Users should verify API details and terms of service directly with the respective providers.
