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.

1. Search GitHub for **Public APIs**.
2. Browse the index by the kind of service you need. Categories Abdul mentions include news, finance, design and art, machine learning, and text analysis.
3. 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.
