v2.1.0

Refactored shared utilities, extracted reusable hooks and components, consolidated syntax highlighting

v2.0.0

What's New

100% Hand-Crafted API Previews

Every single one of the 1,546 APIs in the catalog now has a hand-crafted visual preview — weather cards, charts, maps, lists, media galleries, code viewers, and key-value cards. No more auto-generated placeholders.

Side-by-Side API Comparison

Select up to 3 APIs from the grid and compare them in a full-screen drawer — auth method, CORS, HTTPS, descriptions, and live previews all in one view. FIFO replacement when selecting a 4th.

UI Polish

• Header controls reordered: column layout → GitHub → theme toggle
• GitHub Star CTA replaced with minimal icon link
• Mobile-first: default single-column layout
• Page size bumped to 48 cards

Since v1.0.0

• Unified search + filter command center with scrollable category chips
• Advanced filtering (Auth, HTTPS, CORS dropdowns)
• Code snippets on API detail pages
• Realistic category-specific sample data for all preview types

v1.3.0 — Advanced Filtering UI

What's New

Advanced Filtering

• Auth filter — narrow by Free, API Key, or OAuth authentication
• HTTPS filter — show only HTTPS-enabled APIs
• CORS filter — filter by CORS support (Enabled, Disabled, Unknown)
• All filters combine with AND logic alongside category and text search
• Active filters show colored accents (emerald/amber/violet/sky)
• "Clear" link resets all attribute filters at once

Redesigned Category Chips

• Switched from horizontal scroll to wrapping flex layout
• Collapsed to ~2 rows by default with "+N more" expand toggle
• Smooth framer-motion height animation for expand/collapse

Unified Filter Row

• Filter dropdowns and category chips merged into a single cohesive section with a subtle vertical divider

v1.2.0 — Code Snippets

What's New

• Code Snippets on API Detail Pages — Each API now shows auto-generated cURL, JavaScript (fetch), and Python (requests) examples with a tabbed interface, syntax coloring, and copy button
• Snippets adapt based on auth type (apiKey, OAuth, X-Mashape-Key, User-Agent, or no auth)
• Terminal-style UI consistent with the existing sample response component

v1.1.0 — Unique Previews, Bug Fixes

What's changed

• Unique preview data per API — 456 distinct sample data variants across all categories, selected by hashing each API's slug. No more identical cards within a category.
• Fixed 71 broken list previews — Music, News, Jobs, and Podcasts cards no longer show "No items to display"
• Reverted PWA/service worker — The cache-first service worker was causing stale pages after deployments
• Vercel alias auto-updates — public-apis-explorer.vercel.app now automatically points to the latest production deploy
• Grid layout toggle moved to header — Frees up the full width for category filter chips
• Softer light mode — Background changed from near-white to warm stone tone
