Dungeons and Dragons (Alternate)
Open5e is a community-run, keyless REST API for the 5e SRD — monsters, spells, classes, races, magic items, and more — with Django REST Framework-style search, filtering, field selection, and pagination built in. Its old v1 endpoints are now deprecated in favor of a v2 default, and the actual API is served from a separate `api.open5e.com` host distinct from the Next.js marketing/search site at `open5e.com`.
Open5e is a community-run, keyless REST API for the 5e SRD — monsters, spells, classes, races, and more — with Django REST Framework pagination, search, and field selection built in. A live GET this run against /v1/monsters/?limit=1 returned a genuine 4,886 B page at HTTP 200, content-type: application/json, reporting count: 3207. The actual API is served from this api.open5e.com host, distinct from the Next.js marketing/search site at open5e.com that the catalogue's url field points to.

Gotchas & limits
- v1 and v2 are genuinely different corpora with different object shapes, not the same data renamed — confirmed live above: v1 keys monsters on
slug("a-mi-kuk") with a flat field layout, while a live GET this run against/v2/creatures/?limit=1(6,816 B) keys onkey("a5e-mm_aboleth") plus a nesteddocument/type/sizeobject structure. The counts differ too: v1/v1/monsters/reportscount: 3207; v2/v2/creatures/reportscount: 3541— v2 is a larger, restructured superset, not a mirror. - Every v1 response carries its own retirement notice, and each object embeds a live forward-pointer — a live GET this run against
/v1/monsters/?limit=1returned the headerwarning: 299 Deprecated API: use /v2/ instead. /v1/ will be maintained until 2024-12-31(a date already in the past), and the object's ownv2_converted_pathfield resolves to the real v2 equivalent, confirmed live above. v1 is not hypothetically deprecated — it says so on every call, and it's overdue. - The trailing slash is enforced with a redirect, not a 404 — a live GET this run against
/v2/creatures(no trailing slash) returned HTTP 301 redirecting to/v2/creatures/?limit=1. Code that builds paths without the trailing slash will work, but silently burns an extra round trip on every call. - A no-match lookup is Django REST Framework's generic 404, not a custom error shape — a live GET this run against
/v2/creatures/nonexistent-slug-xyz/returned HTTP 404 with the 49 B body{"detail":"No Creature matches the given query."}, the same shape DRF returns catalogue-wide — there's no Open5e-specific error envelope to parse for.
