A curated list of public GraphQL APIs for developers to discover and integrate.
Public GraphQL APIs is a collective, open-source directory of publicly accessible GraphQL endpoints. It aggregates official APIs from companies like GitHub, Shopify, and Contentful, along with community-built proxies and demonstration APIs, providing a one-stop resource for developers to find and test GraphQL services. The project solves the problem of discovering and evaluating GraphQL APIs scattered across the web.
Developers, API integrators, and technical enthusiasts who are building applications with GraphQL and need to discover, evaluate, or experiment with public GraphQL services. It's particularly useful for those prototyping, learning GraphQL, or seeking third-party data sources.
Unlike generic API directories, it focuses exclusively on GraphQL, offering direct GraphiQL links for interactive exploration. It's community-maintained, ensuring fresh and diverse entries, and provides a structured, categorized view that saves developers time searching for reliable GraphQL endpoints.
📜 A collective list of public GraphQL APIs
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Curates dozens of public GraphQL APIs across domains like e-commerce, payments, and entertainment, as shown in the categorized tables with official and unofficial entries.
Most entries include direct 'Try it!' GraphiQL playground links, such as for GitHub and Shopify, enabling immediate querying without local setup.
Encourages contributions via pull requests, ensuring the list stays current and grows, as highlighted in the README's open call for PRs.
Separates APIs into official, unofficial proxies, and demonstration-only sections, helping users quickly identify reliable sources versus experimental ones.
Includes unofficial and demo APIs without quality assurance, so users must independently verify stability and maintenance, as seen in the 'Unofficial API proxies' section where some are hosted on free tiers.
Entries lack critical details like pricing, rate limits, or schema versions, requiring developers to visit external docs for each API, which can be time-consuming.
The directory is a static README table with no built-in search or automation, relying on manual updates that may lead to broken links or outdated entries over time.
