Open API Web Search project is all about providing a simple way for developers to find existing Swagger and OpenAPI definitions on the open web—mostly from lesser-known sources.

The ultimate goal of this project is to build a search engine for APIs where API consumers and producers can discover APIs using keywords that abstract away the complexity of searching the web for specific terms, helping identify APIs in a sea of web pages.
