You are demoing some code. That code needs to hit an API... any API.
It's gotta be basic. Probably just an HTTP GET.
I found REQ | RES, which looks interesting. There's also The Cat API, which looks fun.
What do you reach for?

SWAPI - The Star Wars API
I decided to go with SWAPI. Here's the examoke I was creating: mojiscript.js.org/#/function-lift-p
This function is for something new I am working on called
Promise Lifting.Cheers!
The National Park Service API is easy to use, but does have a few bugs. (Hasn't been updated in a long time, maybe due to the last administration's defunding, etc.)
Spoonacular has a lot of endpoints, but the docs aren't great.
Also, there's this repo of public APIs: github.com/public-apis/public-apis
National Park Service has an API. That's interesting. 🤔

Fake it till you make it. Fake API
Great question!
My use-case is I am writing documentation for a library (MojiScript) and want to provide example code that is runnable and also a real-world usage type example.
My second use-case is I write a lot of articles that demonstrate JavaScript code. I also want these examples to be runnable. I also want them to be more relatable to the readers real life use cases and not some contrived examples.
Something like a web server is too heavy for these types of demonstrations.
I'm sure there are many other valid use cases for them, otherwise they would not exist.
I think they call this NPM.
deckofcardsapi.com - data model makes sense, no auth so easy on ramp, JSON readability that’s within reach and visual if you want.
That is an interesting API. I haven't seen that one. I'll have to keep this one in mind.
I used reqres.in/ before and more recently api.github.com/users/
github.com/toddmotto/public-apis
Awesome a whole list of public APIs. I'm sure I'll find something perfect for my use case in here.
Cheers!
