10,000+ Public APIs

What is the definition of public here?

Is public/private a matter of authentication, or authorization ? (e.g. trackable or paying)

Or is it suppose to be "private api is for internal use in a company" v. "public api is for external usage"?

  curl "https://joss-open-exchange-rates.p.mashape.com/latest.json"
  {"message":"Invalid Mashape key. If you are a Mashape user, get your key from your dashboard at https://www.mashape.com/login - To create a free Mashape account instead, go to https://www.mashape.com/signup"}

The are a number of API's (on Mashape) that even if in public mode are still beta stuff (like mine :-)) there should be a way at least for mashapers to signify that in the api admin panel, in order to avoid any potential confusion. That said, THANK YOU from this marketing effort.

This is great. Is there a way you could categorize the APIs so searches can be filtered? I imagine this a common machine learning classification problem. Maybe check out http://scikit-learn.org/stable/

Now Google is not the only one place to look for public APIs.

Love the idea but I have two suggestions: let people filter by country and let them vote or star a particular API.

The war of API directories has just begun.

Great! A bit off topic, but how do you get instant searching on the website as you type? (I'm a amateur programmer).
