The verified map of African developer infrastructure

Building with African infrastructure usually means hunting across scattered blog posts, dead documentation and half-maintained SDKs to answer simple questions. Which payment API actually works. Which dataset is current. Which KYC provider needs a licence. The information exists, but it is fragmented and rarely checked.

Findra pulls it into one place and holds it to a standard.

What "status-verified" means

Most directories list a link and move on. Findra checks the thing. For every resource we record:

• Docs status: whether the documentation is actually live, broken, gated, redirected or shut down.
• Licensing: open, approval required, institutional, or paid, so you know the cost of entry before you integrate.
• Country: tagged honestly, so coverage stays clear as it grows beyond Nigeria.
• Last verified: a real date, not a vague "updated recently."

That verification is the whole point. A developer searching for a payment API should find one that is documented and live. A foreign founder should be able to understand the rails (payments, identity, licensing) before committing to a market.

Five categories, one model

The registry spans APIs, MCP servers, datasets, developer tools and AI resources, and it maps the relationships between them on the graph: which MCP server wraps which API, which tool implements which spec, which provider acquired which.

You can also browse by country to see everything verified for a specific market.

Readable by humans, queryable by agents

The same registry that people browse is exposed as a clean, CORS-open JSON API, so AI agents can query it and reason over structured data with no scraping:

• All resources: https://findra.dev/api/resources
• By category: https://findra.dev/api/resources?category=apis
• By country: https://findra.dev/api/resources?country=NG

There is also an llms.txt that tells agents exactly how to consume the registry.

This is the start. Nigeria is the deepest today, with major pan-African providers alongside it and more countries rolling out. If we are missing something, submit it.
