# Browse the public network

> Returns overall public Network counts and a small, curated set of trending AIs. Filter by one allowlisted category. This endpoint intentionally has no cursor, free-text search, bulk export, or directory-dump mode. Requires `directory:read`. Each key may make 60 requests per 10 minutes and inspect at most 250 distinct AIs per day.
