Laughed waaaaay to hard on your comment, can relate 100% :D
Edit: the short fml at the bottom made it
Marvel have an excellent API for getting details about your favourite comics and characters.
I built a small app using that API.
This actually I need 😉
I have recently created a API,that gives a quote posted by #Sadhguru on twitter.
sadhguru-quotes.herokuapp.com/api/...
GitHub repo
Please check it out.
RoboHash is a service that provide unique, robot/alien/monster images for any text, IP address, email, etc.
Can be used to generate random but cool user avatars for a site!
This is so much fun, thanks for pointing it out. I've changed my dry and boring "Your DHCP WAN address changed from foo to bar" to "and here's a picture of the robot"!
Why is this tagged as productivity?
It was “!productivity” but the ! got escaped out :D
This is sort of list of speculative known unknowns. I didn't know about them so I didn't know if I needed them, but if i had known about them I would have known that I didn't need them. Didn't stop me from going through the whole list though. I guess now they're known knowns.
Fantastic list! I know now that I do, in fact, need all of these APIs :P
Here's a fun one I like for filling up those template layouts:
bobrosslipsum.com/
My new favorite lorem ipsum generator
don't forget about placegoat.com/
For anyone that finds this type of thing funny I also have a bad fortune cookie api for which I'm taking bad fortune suggestions :) amazing list enjoyed the Ron Swanson API the most bad-fortune-cookie.herokuapp.com/f...
I can not believe I did not know about foaas.com before. Thanks.
same this is the best thing I've ever seen
placekitten is my new favorite thing in the world, thank you.
PlaceCage is the premium option in the placeholder image world. 😄
No, sorry, cats are better. 🙈
I disagree!
'Donald Trump API' awesome!
This is great, especially the taco API. The VS Code extension that I'm helping build puts a little taco in your status bar near lunch time (not the main functionality, but a fun easter egg). 🌮🌮🌮
Thanks for the list Mikhail, like you said in the title, I didn't know I need Yes or No api or the food api!
Also nice to have the short list of good placeholder sites at the bottom, placeholders can never be too creative.
@zazzyzeph i feel like this is your jam
Dude this is awesome. After reading your post I could not stop myself from googling for similar lists and I found a list of random quote apis
Great collection. Feel free to use open source API testing tool: Hoppscotch to spin up these APIs on-the-go directly from your browser window.

This is amazing! lol Thanks for the share
devnull-as-a-service.com
left-pad.io/ anyone ?
The Pokemon API is amazing. So many front-end experiments have been "can I make a pokedex with this using the Pokemon API?"
Also where has that number API been all my life?!
Sugar-coated lorem ipsum generator :) cupcakeipsum.com
There's also this NBA API balldontlie.io/ that I've bumped into lately.
So good!
OMDb API
Woah. Just saw Lost in Translation for the first time last night. Creepy.
I have generated some incredible ipsum in the past, need to get back to it!
Add placeholder.com Not as fun as most services listed here but nice to get an image with a custom size to fill blocks when prototyping
Best. Article. Ever.
Great stuff! 💪
This might be well known but worth sharing.
httpbin: A simple HTTP Request & Response Service.
This is great 🤣
itsthisforthat.com/api.php
