These 10 free APIs will take your programming projects to the next level 🧵👇

1. DummyAPI

From fake users to fake comments and posts.

Dummy API has everything you need to make your app look like it’s bustling with real user activity.

Say goodbye to hard-coded JSON data 👋

👉 dummyapi.io

2. Mapbox

Building a location-based project? this is the API for you!

Used by well-known companies like Strava so you know their API is top quality.

Their free-tier threshold is very generous that you can use Mapbox without paying a cent.

👉 mapbox.com

3. Fake Store API

An e-commerce store is a great project to have and it just got easier with Fake Store API.

Forget about spinning up the backend and database and focus on building cart, wishlists, recommendations and other functionalities💡

👉 fakestoreapi.com

4. Mailchimp

There’s no better way to say “I’m a pro” than to have automated welcome emails sent to your users.

With Mailchimp’s generous free tier, you can do just that!

👉 mailchimp.com

5. Shutterstock

Spruce up your web app with some beautifully curated images, video and audio from Shutterstock.

Who has the time to search, curate and download assets? With Shutterstock’s API, you won’t have to.

👉 shutterstock.com/developers

6. 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.

👉 sejda.com

7. Serp API

The possibilities are endless when you have the power of Google and other search engines behind you.

Serp API makes this all possible.

Image what you can build with that power!

👉 serpapi.com

8. Auth0 API

Auth0 is a great way to implement OAuth or single-sign-on (SSO).

SSO gives the user the ability to sign up or sign via a 3rd party application like Facebook or Google.

This is a great feature to add to a larger project.

👉 auth0.com

9. Movie DB API (TMDB)

This API is epic!

It’s got so much data, well documented, and allows you to create incredible apps like a Netflix clone.

And it’s completely free. Just attribute them in your application.

👉 themoviedb.org/documentation/…

10. Random User Data API

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.

👉 randomuser.me
