APIs.guru vs Statically
APIs.guru maintains the largest searchable directory of OpenAPI/Swagger definitions for public APIs, normalizing specs pulled from thousands of providers into one browsable catalogue. Its own machine-readable endpoint (api.apis.guru/v2) needs no key or account and returns the full listing plus individual OpenAPI documents as JSON or YAML. The project is open-source and entirely free, run as a community effort rather than a paid product.
Statically is a free CDN that serves raw files straight from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and GitHub Gist repositories, plus any npm package, via simple path-based URLs like `cdn.statically.io/gh/:user/:repo@:tag/:file` — no key or account needed. It runs on bunny.net and Cloudflare edge infrastructure; the vendor disabled its former `/img/` image-processing endpoint after sustained abuse, so only the Git/npm file-serving routes remain live today.
