The Lord of the Rings
The Lord of the Rings API (the-one-api.dev) serves structured Tolkien-film data — movies, quotes, and book chapters — built and maintained by the same team behind The One API family of fandom APIs. A free signup-issued Bearer key is required for the movie and quote endpoints (confirmed: they 401 without one), while the book-listing endpoint is open; usage is capped at 100 requests per 10 minutes.
