Where do my data live?

The API Spots Chrome extension is not using any owned servers for storing and exchanging data. This means that all data the extension is managing are stored locally on your browser.

In the case of 3rd party service integrations (e.g. with Github) you will be asked for granting any required permissions.

All locally saved data will be removed once the extension itself is removed from Chrome.

Open Source

The API Spots is 100% open source software hosted over at Github.

Some of the projects in use are:
