Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Must be an actual API — the form asks for SSL support, authentication model, request/response formats, 'Official API?' yes/no
- URL to the API's official site or documentation
- Non-official/community APIs appear acceptable ('Is this an official API?' is a form field, not a gate)
- No payment required; 'Sponsor Us' is a separate optional route
Prepare before opening the form
- API name (short, e.g. 'Stripe')
- URL to official site or docs
- Logo upload (auto-generated via Clearbit from URL+title, or upload manually)
- Markdown-capable description
- Main category + optional comma-separated category suggestions
- Company GitHub and Twitter handles
- Technical facts: SSL support, auth model (API keys?), supported request/response formats (e.g. JSON)
- Email (optional — used for approval notification and blog invites)
Workflow
- Open https://apilist.fun/new (nav 'Add API')
- Fill the form — name, URL, logo, description, categories, GitHub/Twitter, API technical details
- Submit; the site says APIs are reviewed within 24 hours
- Approved APIs appear in category listings and the 'best APIs' newsletter rotation
Watch for
- Fit is narrow: this lists APIs, not SaaS products generally — a SaaS without a public API doesn't belong
- Site footer © 2019 — old codebase; the 24-hour review claim may be stale
- Markdown in the description field — keep formatting simple
- Registration exists (/register) but the add form itself doesn't appear to require an account
What counts as live
The API appears as a listing card in apilist.fun category pages with a 'Read More' detail view and outbound link to the API site
Not verified
- Whether submissions are still actively reviewed (site is apilayer-owned but dated)
- Whether outbound links are dofollow
- Whether an account is actually required at submit time
