Independent buying guidance
APIDir editorial policy
Evidence status, price order, and editorial conclusions are never sold.
Editorial independence
Provider payments, sponsorship, or affiliate relationships never change evidence status, pricing order, review conclusions, comparison placement, or correction handling.
Review standard
Reviews explain fit, product shape, billing risks, and unresolved questions using first-party sources. APIDir does not publish a reliability score or star rating without a disclosed test program.
Sponsorship and affiliate disclosure
A configured commercial link is labelled sponsored beside the link. If tracking is unavailable or invalid, APIDir falls back to the provider's untracked official page and says so. Editorial results are computed before a commercial destination is attached.
Provider participation
Providers may submit source corrections, clarify a configuration, or claim a profile. They cannot buy a verified badge or suppress a supported criticism.
Documented integrations
Integration pages distinguish public repository evidence, first-party documentation, owner confirmation, and private production claims. No private stack or revenue is inferred.
