Authgear - Bring Passwordless, OTPs, 2FA, SSO to your apps in minutes. All Front-end included. Free up to 5000 MAUs.

This post will guide you through building a full-stack authentication app with Apache APISIX, Authgear, and OpenID Connect (OIDC). You can find the project's source code on GitHub. For a swift start with the app, simply clone the repository and execute the code sample, following the steps provided in the README.md file.

User sign-ups are a crucial aspect of most web applications, and keeping track of them can provide valuable insights. Getting notified when a new user signs up is not just about knowing the numbers, but also about immediate user engagement. For example, you can send a welcome message or introduce them to special sign-up bonuses or offers as soon as they get authenticated in your system. When it comes to user authentication, Authgear provides an extensive suite of authentication features. What if you want to receive immediate notifications in Slack when a new user signs up?

The implementation of authentication for SPA apps consists of two parts. In the first part, you create an Authgear app, choose a logging method and customize the sign-in UI page(optional). The second part covers the use of Authgear’s Web SDK to trigger authentication flow such as log-in, and log-out.

For inspirations on what type of agents I should build, I turned to the Public APIs GitHub repository which has a curated lists of free APIs. I narrowed my search for an API that does not require sign-up or an API key and returns useful information. I ultimately decided to use the Free Currency Exchange Rates API, which seemed promising upon some basic testing.

Public-Apis Github Repo — A list of free public APIs.

Interesting thread at https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis/issues/3104

Use curl to access a free public API and get a random joke, cat fact, or whatever.

I remember the forking of https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and the long git issue discussions. The company owning the repository stopped maintaining it but didn't give up control either. Over the years you've put in a lot of work in publicapis.dev and that is much appreciated.

Also, that isn't really a list of "contributors", but of "organisations with the most stars". Those are different things.

For example "public-apis"[1] didn't "contribute" anything as that's not a person, and looking at GitHub[2] there are a bunch of substantial contributors (the person who created the organisation/repo only has 12 commits by the way);
