Every developer has faced this problem:
You need an API for a pet project, testing, or learning…
and suddenly you’re stuck.
- APIs are overcomplicated
- Documentation is confusing
- Or everything is locked behind a paywall
So I decided to build something simpler.
The idea
I created a set of free APIs with instant access.
- No setup.
- No waiting.
- No friction.
You open the page — and you can start using it immediately.
👉 Explore the API instantly
https://pet-projects.io/en
🔥 Instant Playground
Instead of reading long docs first, you can just try it:
- Ready-to-use requests
- Code examples in 6 languages
- Real responses
Requests are sent in real-time, so you can see how the API behaves.
To use it in your own projects, you’ll need an API key.
Just sign in (via OAuth or email) — your API key will be generated and applied automatically.
Example APIs
Here are a few things you can already use:
- JSON storage API
- REST Free API
- REST Todos API
- GraphQL Todos API
- (more coming soon — including WebSocket API)
Why I built it this way
Most platforms optimize for:
monetization first, developer experience second
I wanted the opposite:
Developer experience first
- Minimal time to first request
- Clean UI
- No unnecessary steps
Try it yourself
You can test everything here:
Or jump directly into a playground and start sending requests.
Feedback
If you have ideas or feedback — I’d love to hear it.
This is just the beginning, and I’m actively improving the platform.

Instant playground + no setup required = perfect for side projects. Bookmarking this. 🔥
If you try it out
I’d love to hear your feedback
Also curious: what APIs would you like to see next?
