Browsing APIs

Discover and select APIs from the catalog in your web console.

The Catalog & SDKs tab

Open your web console and click Catalog & SDKs in the sidebar. This is a two-panel layout: a scrollable list of API cards on the left, and a documentation panel on the right.

At the top you will see the SDK language selector and Generate SDK button. Below that are two sub-tabs: Browse Catalog and My APIs.

Search bar

At the top of the Browse Catalog sub-tab is a search bar. Type any keyword to find APIs by name, description, tag, or keyword. Results update as you type (with a short debounce delay). A result count badge shows how many APIs match your search.

Sort options

Next to the search bar is a sort dropdown with five options:

Relevance — best match to your search terms (default)
Name A-Z — alphabetical order
Newest — most recently published first
Price: Low — cheapest APIs first
Price: High — most expensive APIs first

Below the search bar, a tag cloud shows the most popular tags across all APIs. Click any tag to filter the catalog to only APIs with that tag. You can select multiple tags — they combine as filters. Active filters appear as removable pills below the tag cloud, and you can click "Clear all" to reset.

Pagination

The catalog loads 30 APIs per page. Pagination controls appear at the bottom of the API list. Navigate with the page number buttons or the previous/next arrows. The total API count is shown next to the pagination controls.

What each API card shows

Each card in the catalog list displays:

API name — the title set by the owner
Price per call — in USDC (e.g., $0.01/call)
Description — a brief summary (up to two lines)
Protocol badge — shown for non-REST APIs (e.g., GraphQL, gRPC)
Tags — up to four tags displayed as small badges
Star icon — click to bookmark the API to your "My APIs" list

Swagger documentation panel

Click any API card and a live Swagger sandbox loads in the right-hand panel. This shows the full API specification with all endpoints, parameters, request/response schemas, and example values. You can explore the API documentation without leaving the catalog.

My APIs sub-tab

The My APIs sub-tab shows only the APIs you have starred (bookmarked). This is your personal shortlist for quick access. From here you can:

Click any bookmarked API to view its Swagger documentation
Remove it from your list by un-starring

If you have not bookmarked any APIs yet, you will see a prompt to browse the catalog and click the star icon.

Bookmarking is free. Adding an API to your list does not cost anything. You only pay when you make a real (production) call.

SDK generation

Select a language from the dropdown at the top of the Catalog tab and click Generate SDK. The control center creates a ready-to-use client library for the selected API in your chosen language. See SDKs for the full list of supported languages.
