Building an API Directory That Doesn't Lie To You
Why DevZar refuses to fabricate ratings, view counts or fake user numbers — and what we show instead.
Most "API marketplace" sites pad their listings with invented five-star ratings and inflated "10k+ users" badges to look more trustworthy. We think that's backwards.
What you'll never see on DevZar
- Fake star ratings with no real review source
- Made-up "monthly active users" counts
- Invented uptime percentages we can't verify
What you WILL see
- The real base URL and official documentation link for every API
- Verified authentication type (No key / API key / OAuth), HTTPS support and CORS status
- A direct link back to the open-source list the entry was sourced from
- For GitHub profiles: live, real-time stats pulled straight from api.github.com
Trust is earned by being verifiable, not by looking polished. That's the whole design philosophy behind DevZar's data layer.
