// What makes it different
— not another list of links
// 01 curation
Every API is hand-checked.
Each provider is manually reviewed: we sign up, test the free tier, and document what actually works — not what their marketing page claims.
// 02 trust score
A 0–100 score, with the math shown.
Reliability (35%) + documentation (20%) + free-tier generosity (30%) + popularity (15%). No black-box rankings.
