I've been looking for a website that is exactly what this is. Thank you!

Wow, how did you create this list? manually? automatically?

Apparently it uses data from Mashape API Marketplace https://www.mashape.com/

Completely agree with you..

There is nothing new in this website, it is fetching data from specified website.

It indicates it's made by the Mashape API Marketplace people. Not sure why the accusatory tone.

i just visited mashape.com. i was there just in time to see the API call counter hit exactly 1,300,000,000.

It's quite interesting to compare it to ProgrammableWeb API directory (http://www.programmableweb.com/apis/directory) which has 10,555 entries.

Great but I think search options could be improved with some categorization, tagging etc.

There's nothing quite like seeing "10K+" results loaded into a single, infinite page.

Whoa, was not expecting to see my company on here. Nice! Where do they get their information?

10k Item Infinite Scroll List. Best hope the API you want isn't number 8500 you will never find it.

They have this great thing called the alphabet, even if you aren't going to sort by what the API does you could sort by Name and have 37 lists. (AlphaNumeric+Symbol)

Imagine this solution applied to App Store or Google Play apps. I think it's best to just to what they do and offer category views, new/hot/featured, lists for certain use cases, etc.
