Dune
Dune API is a small fan-built REST service returning JSON quotes, books, and films from the Dune franchise, each record carrying an id and, for books/films, a linked Wikipedia reference. The Heroku host documented in the repo's own README has been deallocated, but the maintainer's GitHub project homepage now points to a live Render deployment that still answers real requests with no key required.
