Thank you Ana! I found this post really useful !!
Thanks for the kind feedback : )
Thank you
Hey Ana, thank you for including my API, JokeAPI, but the version you linked here is being turned off in about two months. There's a new version here: https://sv443.net/jokeapi/v2
Thanks for letting me know, Iβve updated the link! Nice site.
Thank you Ana for the excellent site. I have made a fetch tutorial with the jokeApi and I mentioned your name and added a link to your site. Just my way of saying thank you.
https://code.sololearn.com/WW12zfYC7BSR/#html
Hey Ryan, thank you for that! And that's a really good tutorial. I've never seen that site before, just signed up now and am checking it out.
Thank you. It is a real cool site with over 5 million users. Maybe you can share some of your codes with us on this site π
Actually this is very nice !!!! I am searching for fun and free api's for a long time, this is like a crystal clear of what I exactly need !!! keep it up man .....Good Work!!!!!
Thanks for the nice comment! Have fun with them.
Nice link urls. Really helpful
can u have API of cricket live match
Sorry, I don't know any open cricket APIs. This one has a free plan but you'll need to sign up for a key: https://rapidapi.com/dev132/api/cricket-live-scores
This is Awesome, Thank you for listing those APIs Here. That's Really Helpful.
Thanks for the info
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this list.
I often need an API for testing something simple. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) hard to find many that don't need a registration+key.
So thank you for this list. It is gold!
Thank you for such a positive comment!
thanks for your support on this stuffs. π
Thank you for this list! This is amazing and extremely useful π
thanks guys i love this page it helps me alot, please is there any api on reators without key? thanks for any positive reply.
Hey there, I don't know any public real estate APIs without keys. But if you are just looking for demo data, you can try this one, they give you a demo key to view test data without signing up: https://rets.ly/docs/explorer/reso-web-api
wow! thanks alot i do love your page and thanks for you support.
do you have any blog I could follow so I can get updates and also learn from from you i love these stuff you do. thanks.
Thank you π I post a lot about API stuff on this site.
Hi Ana, nice list. Here is another one: An API to convert Unixtime to a DateTime and vice versa. Completely free
https://unixtime.co.za
Thanks, added!
2022-11-08 update: removed as it's been down for several weeks
Hi,
Thanks for this great list.
Super useful, thank you!
Great URLs!!
Here is another free api, https://www.pixelencounter.com/Api
Thanks, I'll add it.
Free cryptocurrency API
https://www.cryptingup.com/apidoc
Added!
Nice link containing opensource REST APIs. Really helpful in many places of my project
Hi Ana,
This is a great list! One you might want to add is:
https://jsonplacecard.typicode.com
This is a good site for API client testing.
I got a "site can't be reached" error on that one, is that the right URL?
Looks like it's actually http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/, and I second that recommendation: it supports a lot of experimentation.
Aha! You're right, I just added it.
Oh... nice work Ana.
Maybe would like to add us to the list https://data.oddsmagnet.com
Thanks, added.
2022-11-08 update: removed as API requests now resolve to 404 errors
Hello
This is great and useful thanks. However do you have any where I can use Key and Secret's to test api connectivity with high security which is more common these days?
Do you mean a list of APIs that require API keys? Most APIs require authorization, or you can check an API directory like this one: https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis
Thank you Ana! I found this post really useful !!
I just briefly tested the "Jokes" API and it immediately presented a racist joke. I did this during a class. You should reconsider listing that as a resource.
Sorry about that. I've updated the link to use their "safe mode", which should prevent this from happening in the future.
Thanks for the post
Ana, we develop mission-critical environmental conservation apps for NGOs. Using Appsheet. New to APIs. Need access to soil and ecoregion data. Soil data from SSURGO and ecoregion data from US EPA. Should be possible. Can you find SSURGO APIs?
Hey Mark! I would just Google "SSURGO APIs" and see if any of the results look like what you're looking for. I tried and see several results, but since I don't have any background knowledge, I can't really evaluate their quality or relevance.
Thank you for the list!
Just to raise it to your attention, the pixelencounter link actually is a duplicate link to the openFDA site from above. Just thought you might want to fix it at some point. Otherwise the list is great!
Thank you, David. That was a copy/paste error; fixed.
Will you please add us to this list: https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com
This is a easy to implement weather api.
Added!
No longer working.
Thanks, I removed it.
it's working again
Thanks for the post! The guessers based on names are very good!
Awesome, Thank you Ana!
Please add APIs for therapists lists or care providers
You can check https://rapidapi.com/ and https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis for more APIs.
is there any public api for sending post request
Sure, you can see example POST requests in the HTTPBin API. You can't run those by simply clicking a link, though, since they require POST bodies.
Really a complete list of APIs. You just save my life. Thanks Ana
I would like to point out to a very useful free API for searching locations and adresses.
https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/api/Overview/
Thanks, looks good! Added.
Thanks for the list . Very useful. was searching for this since some time
Hi Ana add Mockyard.in into your list which provide rest API's for mock data 9r dummy data for testing purpose
Added!
I think this sunrise/sunset times API would make a good addition! https://sunrisesunset.io/api/
Nice API, added!
nice list π
can we also add the astronomy picture of the day API
this one doesn't need a key: https://go-apod.herokuapp.com/
thank you again
Added!
Hi Ana,
Thank you for the list. I just wanted to know if there is any API that i can test for free which can send a zip file as a response. I am doing a POC and i need to confirm the zip file flow.
Sorry, I'm not sure. You can check httpbin for many different response types, but I don't think they have zip files
Great list, thanks a lot for sharing, my two cents π
Rick And Morty API: https://rickandmortyapi.com/
Star Wars api (fork): https://swapi.dev/
Thanks, added!
Hi there, Thanks for your work, can we have api for granite marble and quartz as well, Thanks
Thanks for this very helpful list. Much appreciated.
Hi, I need a free weather api without using access token. Please post one.
You can try 7Timer.
super thanx π
Thank you Ana. Brilliant work!
IPfast no longer works
Thanks, removed it.
Add ulvis free URL shortener api
Super helpful list, thanks for putting it together. NASA also has some really nice free APIs (https://api.nasa.gov/)
Thanks, that's a great link. The APIs all seem to require an API key for access, but there is a (rate limited) DEMO_KEY, too.
thanks for providing free api
Very informative page.
In case you maybe want to create your own custom data and fetch it from an API, here is a good API that allows you to do that: https://restful-api.dev/
Added, thanks
Hi, Thank you for providing this list of APIs, it looks really good. I believe you should also include (www.ipstack.com), which offers geolocation API and global IP database services globally.
Thanks but this list is only for APIs that don't require a key for access.
