Anycrap vs PotterDB
Anycrap serves a database of 35,000+ AI-generated absurdist product concepts — invented gadgets like "Thought-Cancelling Headphones" with a name, satirical description, category tags, and image. Registering an email gets you a free API key instantly (no card), and reads are capped at 60 requests/minute against endpoints for random products, listing/filtering, single lookups by slug, and category counts. There's also a companion npm CLI and an offline faker.js plugin for generating the same style of fake product copy without any network calls.
PotterDB is a free, keyless database of the Harry Potter universe covering books, chapters, characters, movies, potions, and spells, reachable through both a JSON:API-style REST interface (api.potterdb.com) and a GraphQL endpoint. Every resource supports filtering, sorting, sparse fieldsets, and pagination in the JSON:API convention, and the REST side publishes a live OpenAPI schema. It's a community-run, open-source project welcoming Hacktoberfest contributions rather than a commercial offering.
