How to Set Up and Use API Mega List

API Mega List is a comprehensive curated directory of over 10,498 ready-to-use APIs organized across 18 categories including AI (1,208 APIs), Automation (4,825), Social Media (3,268), Lead Generation (3,452), E-commerce (2,440), and Developer Tools (2,652). The collection also includes 131 dedicated MCP servers for AI agent integration. Developers and builders use it as a reference to discover pre-built API integrations for YouTube scraping, Google Maps extraction, Amazon product data, real estate listings, and hundreds of other data sources — dramatically shortening the time to prototype new applications.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ and npx installed (for running the MCP server wrapper)
  • An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
  • API keys from specific third-party providers you plan to use (varies per API)
  • An Apify account for APIs hosted on the Apify platform (many entries are Apify actors)
1

Browse the API Mega List repository

Visit the repository to explore the 18 category folders and find APIs relevant to your use case. Each entry links to the provider platform.

2

Identify the APIs you need

Navigate the category folders (e.g., ai-apis-1208/, automation-apis-4825/, social-media-apis-3268/) to find specific integrations. Many APIs are Apify actors ready to run immediately.

3

Set up the MCP server

Add the api-mega-list MCP server to your client configuration to access the directory and its MCP-enabled integrations through your AI assistant.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "api-mega-list": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["api-mega-list"]
    }
  }
}
4

Configure credentials for specific APIs

For each API you intend to use, obtain the necessary API key or credentials from the provider. Apify actors require an Apify API token from your Apify account settings.

5

Test with a specific API integration

Ask your AI assistant to find and use a specific API from the directory, providing the necessary credentials. The server surfaces available integrations and their required parameters.

Prompts to try

Discover and use APIs from the mega list to build automations and extract data.

- "Find an API in the mega list that can scrape YouTube video transcripts in bulk"
- "What APIs are available for extracting Google Maps business data including reviews and phone numbers?"
- "Show me the available Amazon product scraping APIs and what data fields they return"
- "Find a lead generation API that can discover email addresses from a list of company domains"
- "What real estate APIs in the list can extract property listings from Zillow or Realtor.com?"

Troubleshooting API Mega List

npx api-mega-list fails with package not found

Try installing globally first: 'npm install -g api-mega-list'. If the package is not published to npm, clone the repository directly and run 'node index.js' or check the repository's README for the correct run command.

Apify actor APIs return authentication errors

Apify actors require an Apify API token. Get your token from apify.com under Settings > Integrations > API tokens, and pass it as the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable or in the API request headers.

APIs return rate limit or quota errors

Most APIs in the collection have usage limits on free tiers. Check the provider's documentation for rate limits and upgrade to a paid plan if needed. Implement delays between bulk requests to avoid triggering throttling.
