Open Trivia Database API
Trivia questions via the open Open Trivia Database (OpenTDB) — no key. The questions endpoint returns multiple-choice and true/false questions filtered by category, difficulty (easy, medium, hard) and type, each with the question text, the correct answer and the incorrect options; answers are decoded server-side to clean text. The categories endpoint lists all 24 trivia categories with their ids, and count returns a category's question-count breakdown by difficulty. A random endpoint pulls a single question with the same filters. Real trivia data straight from OpenTDB, fetched fresh — no key. 5 endpoints. Ideal for quiz and trivia games, pub-quiz generators, icebreakers, study apps and chatbot mini-games.

Quiz & Trivia API
A ready-to-use trivia engine with more than 44,000 multiple-choice questions across 20 categories — animals, brain teasers, celebrities, entertainment, kids, general knowledge, geography, history, hobbies, humanities, literature, movies, music, people, religion, science & technology, sports, television, video games and world. Pull a random question or a batch (optionally filtered by category, with the answer hidden for gameplay and the options shuffled), fetch a specific question by id, verify a submitted answer, search questions by keyword, and list every category with its question count. Every endpoint accepts input via the query string or the request body and returns lean JSON. Pure server-side data (no third-party upstream), so responses are instant and always available. Ideal for quiz and trivia games, pub-quiz and party apps, learning tools, chatbots and Discord/Slack bots.

OpenProcessing Creative Coding API
Live creator and sketch data from OpenProcessing, the community for Processing and p5.js creative-coding sketches, served from its public API. The user endpoint returns a creator's profile — username, name, bio, location, website, join date and total sketch count. The sketches endpoint lists a creator's published sketches with title, license, engine mode and dates. The sketch endpoint returns a single sketch's detail — title, description, tags, license, libraries used, the fork parent it was remixed from, and the author. The social endpoint returns a creator's followers or the accounts they follow. This is a creative-coding community stats API — creator profiles, sketch catalogues and the follow graph — distinct from the code-hosting, package-registry and other social-platform APIs in the catalogue. A user is a numeric OpenProcessing userID and a sketch is a numeric visualID, both visible in OpenProcessing URLs. Live, no key on the upstream, nothing stored.

Modrinth Minecraft Mods API
Live mod-platform stats from Modrinth, the open Minecraft content platform — no key, nothing stored. The adoption-and-community view of the Minecraft modding ecosystem: how much each mod, modpack, shader or resource pack is downloaded and followed, and which projects are most popular, distinct from the other developer-ecosystem and gaming APIs in the catalogue. The project endpoint returns a single project in full — total downloads, followers, type, categories, supported game versions and loaders, client/server sides and license. The search endpoint searches projects, filterable by type (mod, modpack, shader, resource pack, data pack) and sortable by downloads or follows, each with its download and follower count. The versions endpoint returns a project's recent releases with per-version downloads, supported game versions and loaders. Build mod dashboards, popularity trackers, "is this mod maintained" widgets and modpack browsers on top of real Modrinth data. Look up a project by its slug (sodium, iris, fabric-api); downloads are the headline popularity metric.
