Whats the difference between this and simply Googling for <insert keyword> api?

Hey, co-author here! Google does not allow you to browse APIs according to Security, Reliability, not Performance, etc.

Google is not an OpenAPI spec indexer either ;)

But I don't want to browse APIs. I'm not looking for any generic APIs. I'm looking for a specific API, such as a location API, or an email sending API. If I search for those in Google, it gives me 1-3 APIs that I need and can test.

For this first version, we assumed you know the API you want to use and want to get some extra info.

The next step could be adding tags/categories so you can look for specific APIs ;)
