The Over 30 APIs I Depend On To Run API Evangelist

I am working to craft complete Swagger definitions for the 1000 companies in my API Stack, and what better place to start than with the APIs that I actually use on a daily basis. I am working hard to make sure all the APIs for my own master API stack are as complete as possible, but taking inventory of the public APIs that I depend on also makes a lot of sense. 

I've long kept a list of APIs that I use, for IT purposes, but I don't have a complete profile of all of these services. As with any vendo, I should have a complete profile of the APIs I depend on, with relevant support channels, documentation, code samples, monitors, and some of the other essentials I track on for other APIs in the space.

This is all a work in progress, that is published as its own Github Pages hosted API Evangelist research project, but here are the 30+ APIs I have on my list:

As I am doing with the rest of the APIs in my stack, I am profiling each of these company's API operations, down to the underlying data model. My goal is to establish a complete profile of the operations using APIs.json, as well as each endpoint, using Swagger.

Similar to my own internal, master stack of APIs, I will break each API down into the smallest possible unit of value, and generate Postman Collections, link to SDKs.io SDKs, API Science monitors, and other essentials of API integration. At the very least, I now have a coherent list of APIs I depend on for my business, something that in my opinion, every company should have in 2015.
