It's very difficult to make a full, up-to-date list of all the APIs since it varies a lot (most notably, some new features are only partially available in some versions of modern browsers).

As a rule-of-thumb - everything that is ES3 is OK to use everywhere. Everything that is ES5 should be OK, but some older browsers (IE8, most notably) don't support it. Everything that is ES6 and beyond is mostly not supported out of the box (there are some libraries and special tools that allow you to use some of these features, though).

Finally, here are some good sites to help you with this:

You are looking for Modernizr. It's a script that detects a definable selection of HTML5/CSS3 features in the browser, and then exposes them both to CSS via classes on the HTML element and Javascript via the Modernizr object. It also has an interactive API.

The list of supported features is at the bottom of the help page, and follow logical categorization as you require.
