Tools
- APIs.json - APIs are becoming a crucial part of the Web. Unfortunately however, it remains very difficult to determine the location of these APIs on servers around the Web. The only way to discover APIs and their properties is via human driven search through public search engines or in hand curated API Directory listings. While these methods work, neither can scale to the potentially hundreds of thousands and millions of APIs which will be published over the next few years.
- Home Documents for HTTP APIs - JSON Home Document is an HTTP API definition formated that follows the RFC4627 specification, and has the media type application/json-home.
