To find the API collection Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) describes, search for Public APIs on GitHub. He presents it as a free, category-based directory for finding APIs that can bring data or news into an Agentic AI application.
“You can use an API to get data, analyze something, or return information you need at that moment.” — Abdul Osama
How to use the directory
GitHub is a platform for hosting and sharing software projects. An API, or application programming interface, lets one application request data or a service from another. Agentic AI refers to AI systems that carry out tasks using tools; APIs can be among those tools.
- Search GitHub for Public APIs.
- Browse the index by the kind of service you need. Categories Abdul mentions include news, finance, design and art, machine learning, and text analysis.
- Read the documentation for a promising API before connecting it to your project.
In numbers
- Abdul says the directory contains 1,500 APIs. That figure comes from the video; the collection may change over time.
Background
An API appearing in a directory described as free does not necessarily mean every use is unrestricted. Access requirements and usage limits can vary by provider, so check the individual API’s documentation.
What to do next
Pick the category closest to your project’s data needs, then check the API’s documentation and usage terms.
