Bob's Burgers vs STAPI
A fan-built REST and GraphQL API covering the animated sitcom Bob's Burgers — characters, episodes, running gags, and even the rotating background sight gags (the store-next-door sign and pest-control-truck slogan) that change every episode. The documented docs/UI site has gone into Heroku maintenance mode, but the actual data API behind it is unaffected and still serves live.
STAPI is a deep, independently maintained REST API covering Star Trek canon across every series and film — tens of thousands of records in aggregate across dozens of resource types (7,571 characters, 6,822 performers, 1,443 spacecraft, 860 episodes and 759 species when measured live), each with dozens of structured fields (birth dates, ranks, serial numbers, alternate-reality flags). Queries go through POST search endpoints under /api/v1/rest rather than simple GETs, and no key is required.
