Check out these 10 APIs for you to play and code for fun. Programming doesn’t always have to be serious. Just relax.

To access each of the APIs, just click on the title 😁.

1. Advice Slip

It’s an API that returns you an advice. Genius. Simply.

2. Fun Translations API

Albert Einstein would envy the IQ of whoever created this API. It’s an API that translates a text to another language.

But it is not just any language, it can be the language of the Minions or the Dothraki from Game of Thrones. There are many other languages for you to use.

3. The Dog API

Who does not love dogs? Come on! In this API, you can find several resources to consume about puppies.

It is worth checking out.

4. The Cat API

“Ugh, but I like cats.” Ok! There is also an API that provides you resources to consume about cats. Check it out!

5. Deck of Cards API

My friend… this API is disruptive! Whoever made it was able to abstract a deck of cards and turn it into an API for you. So cool!

There are many crazy methods for you to consume and create an online card game — just an idea.

Extra: Public APIs — Dev Resources

I will leave you a link where you can find hundreds (or thousands) of public APIs to play. That is where I got the ones I listed from.

I hope you enjoyed the APIs listed here in this article. Share it with other developers you know.

If you’ve enjoyed, consider buying me a coffee as a token of appreciation.

Thank you!
