21 Free API Endpoints Every Developer Should Know About
I got tired of paying for basic developer tools. Every API service wants $29-99/month for things that should be free. So I built my own and made it completely open.
No Auth. No Signup. No Limits. Just HTTP.

Why Free?
I’m an indie dev building in public. Revenue is $0. But the tools are useful and I’d rather have users than zero users.
If you find this useful, tell a friend. That’s all I ask.
