Trash Nothing
Trash Nothing is a nonprofit freecycling network, and its REST API (documented via a published OpenAPI/Swagger spec) exposes local groups, member posts of free items, and location-based search so third-party apps can browse or post giveaways. Requests can authenticate with either a registered app's API key or a full OAuth 2.0 user token, keeping the platform free and low-friction for read-heavy browsing use cases.
AuthenticationOAuthRequires an OAuth flow; expect app registration.
HTTPSSupportedTraffic is encrypted in transit.
CORSEnabledCallable directly from browser JavaScript.
PricingFreeNo paid tier — free for the documented use case.
