Dune vs IMDbOT
Dune API is a small fan-built REST service returning JSON quotes, books, and films from the Dune franchise, each record carrying an id and, for books/films, a linked Wikipedia reference. The Heroku host documented in the repo's own README has been deallocated, but the maintainer's GitHub project homepage now points to a live Render deployment that still answers real requests with no key required.
IMDbOT (branded "Free Movie DB") is an unofficial IMDb search API that also powers a companion Telegram inline bot; the REST side is hosted at imdb.iamidiotareyoutoo.com and returns title, cast, poster, and rating data for a free-text query, plus a separate /justwatch endpoint for streaming availability. Confirmed live via its own hosted Swagger docs and a working /search call, it needs no API key and serves plain JSON with wide-open CORS.
