Google Fonts
The Google Fonts Developer API is a simple, API-key-authenticated REST endpoint that returns metadata — family name, available styles, supported subsets, version, and hosted file URLs — for every typeface in the Google Fonts catalog. It's a read-only discovery API for the font files themselves (which are served separately, unauthenticated, from `fonts.googleapis.com`/`fonts.gstatic.com`), and results can be filtered and sorted by popularity, trending usage, or date added. It's free with no published rate limits beyond standard API-key quota management.
