APIndex

APIndex is a self-hosted API catalog for REST and SOAP teams. Import OpenAPI/WSDL specs, map dependencies, test endpoints, use LDAP, and keep audit logs inside your own infrastructure.

APIndex launched on March 18, 2026 with 5 votes, #1,928 of 23,380 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

What it does

The problem As teams scale, API knowledge gets fragmented. Nobody sees the full system, onboarding is slow, and small changes break unexpected things. What Apindex does • A searchable catalog for all your internal APIs • Visual dependency mapping between systems • Faster onboarding for new engineers • Fully self-hosted — your data stays yours Why it matters Teams waste thousands every month just trying to understand their own systems.

APIndex helps engineering teams import OpenAPI and WSDL specs, document internal APIs, map dependencies, test endpoints, and keep audit logs — inside your own infrastructure. Our team will help you deploy APIndex, import your first OpenAPI/WSDL specs, create your first dependency map, and walk through RBAC/LDAP/audit logs so your catalog is usable in one day. From OpenAPI/WSDL import to dependency mapping, testing, LDAP, and audit logs — APIndex helps teams turn scattered specs into a usable source of truth. Centralized registry for every API in your organization. Search, filter, and browse with rich metadata and documentation links.

    Last time I posted this it didn't garner much interest. There have been lots of improvements and fixes since the last release.

  • Orbital – Dynamically unifying APIs and data with no glue code2023 · github.com · ▲86

    Hey HN, I'm excited to share Orbital, a new approach for unifying APIs and Data sources! Rather than relying on glue code to bridge endpoints, Orbital leverages annotations in schemas & API specs to build the integration dynamically. The traditional method of crafting glue code often becomes repetitive and burdensome to maintain in the long run. With Orbital, developers embed tags to their existing API specs (OAP, Protobuf, etc), indicating where data can be sourced, and publish these specs to Orbital (which runs self-hosted). Consumers query these tags with our TaxiQL language, and Orbital…

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
