I want to build a personalized search tool to navigate the available APIs, rather than relying on the website. I’m looking for a way to search their service directory programmatically for APIs that fit my needs. I’ve searched their documentation but haven’t found any endpoints that allow me to query or get their API listings programmatically. Has anyone managed to find this, or does RapidAPI not offer this kind of access to their marketplace data?
RapidAPI locks down their marketplace data pretty tight. I dug into this last year while building an integration dashboard. Their GraphQL endpoints that run the website aren’t documented publicly and need authentication that blocks outside access. They do offer webhook notifications for APIs you’re subscribed to, but only for stuff you’re already using. I switched tactics - used their individual API docs to build a curated list of services we actually needed instead of trying to index everything. Their terms of service are strict about automated access too, so scraping is risky.
ya, rapidapi doesn’t have a public way to access their stuff like that. i tried googling it too but ended up just scraping the site, which is not super reliable since they change it sometimes. maybe contact support and see if they give you anything.
No official API for RapidAPI’s marketplace catalog. Had the same problem six months ago building a tool for my team. Their docs cover individual APIs well but say nothing about marketplace access. I contacted their enterprise sales (we were looking at business plans anyway) and they confirmed there’s no endpoint for this. Sales rep said it’s been requested but no timeline. Best option is probably scraping their site, just watch the pagination and don’t hammer their servers. Heads up - you’ll need to maintain it since they change their frontend structure sometimes.
