This seems to lack tons of APIs , maybe instead of 'apirank' it should be called 'openapi dev rank'.

Apple Itunes : https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Au...

last fm : https://www.last.fm/api

acoustid : https://acoustid.org/webservice

spotify : https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/

discogs : https://www.discogs.com/developers

deezer : https://developers.deezer.com/login?redirect=/api

music brainz : https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_API

gracenote : https://developer.tmsapi.com/Sample_Code

---

Additionally, why not list API rate limits?

Or some lookups don't need any security, like querying Apple Itunes does not require anything except for being nice and rate limiting.

or the two most famous ones I know of:

* https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/refe...

* e.g. https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/reference/rest

I'm sure there's an Azure one, too, I just don't currently play in that sandbox

I know that DataDog also uses openapi but since this site's search it broken, hard to know if it's hiding on page 57 or what

We used Algolia free tier for the search but all the credits were consumed :') I take this as a learning for our next side project

I try to impress upon my colleagues that error handling is the hallmark of good engineering, because the happy path is only one possible outcome

Had the search said "error while searching: 403" (or whatever) versus "no results" there would have been far fewer complaints in this thread

Spotify is there (twice!): https://apirank.dev/Spotify-Web-API/ https://apirank.dev/Spotify/

The search appears to be broken, because it returns no results for spotify.

We use Algolia free tier for the search, perhaps we have reached the limit :')

Hey coauthor here!

Thanks for your feedback! APIRank is new, and we are eager to make it better.

Please note APIRank we are only compatible with Swagger & OpenAPI specifications. You can propose to index any API you want here: https://apirank.dev/submit

Concerning Github APIs, indeed, we missed it. We will add the following in our next update: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/rest-api-descriptio...

Does that iTunes API still work for the App Store(s)? That documentation appears to have been archived.
