A collection of APIs available for use in Ghana - handy for building tech solutions. You are welcomed to suggest more or changes.
Ratings are based on my personal experience as I use a number of them professionally, in my SaaS Nnipa, by their Docs/DX, and intuition based assessment. I know it's not the best metric so take it with a grain of salt. I intend to keep the list updated but I can't promise.
