5 Free API for your Project

Hi there, friends! Wondering if you can have free APIs for your project? No worries. I have compiled a short list of free APIs you can use for your next project.

Here is the list:-

  1. Fake Store API - https://fakestoreapi.com/
  2. Words API - https://www.wordsapi.com/
  3. Random User Data - https://randomuser.me/
  4. Dummy API - https://dummyapi.io/
  5. Sejda - https://www.sejda.com/

The list in detail...

FAKE STORE API
If you are creating an e-commerce store then this API
is for you. An e-commerce store is a great project to
have and it just got easier with Fake Store API.

WORDS API
Words API is a set of Restful APIs that allow developers to
look up word definitions, contextual details, and other
morphological word-specific information, such as
synonyms, example usage, part of speech, rhymes, region of
use, etc.

RANDOM USER DATA
Stop wasting time manually creating fake user data. Just
pull through comprehensive random user data from this
API. Very handy API for projects. And it simulates real
practices much more than hardcoding data.

DUMMY API
Dummy API has everything you need to make your app
look like it's bustling with real user activity. From fake
users to fake comments and posts. Say goodbye to
hard-coded JSON data.

SEJDA
Ever had to download a PDF just to read or edit it? Only
to upload the changes again. Don't let your users endure
this poor UX. With Sejda's API, you can read and edit
PDFs straight from your web app.

You can get random jokes according to type (e.g., programming jokes only).
