# Skuuy APIs (apis.skuuy.com)
> Curated Live Public APIs Directory, Health Monitoring Engine & In-Browser Playground

Skuuy APIs is an open, modern, and interactive public API directory. It solves the broken links and stale entries of traditional static Markdown directories (such as `public-apis/public-apis`) by actively monitoring API endpoint uptime, response latency, and CORS compatibility.

## Core Features
1. **Live Health Monitoring**: Proactively evaluates HTTP status codes (200 OK, 401/403 Key Required, 404/500 Offline) and response times (ms) across hundreds of public endpoints.
2. **In-Browser API Playground**: Interactive Mini-Postman allowing developers to test GET endpoints with custom parameters directly from their browser, equipped with an optional Edge CORS proxy.
3. **Resurrected Public REST API**:
   - `GET https://apis.skuuy.com/api/v1/apis` (Filter by `category`, `auth`, `cors`, `status`, `search`)
   - `GET https://apis.skuuy.com/api/v1/categories` (Summary count per category)
   - `GET https://apis.skuuy.com/api/v1/random` (Retrieve a verified online random API)
   - `GET https://apis.skuuy.com/api/v1/probe?url=[endpoint]` (Test latency and status of any endpoint)
4. **Polyglot Code Generator**: 1-click copyable snippets in cURL, JavaScript (Fetch & Axios), Python (Requests), Go, Dart / Flutter, and PHP.
5. **Community Submissions**: External developers can submit new APIs with automated URL reachability validation.
