Dungeons and Dragons (Alternate) vs Geek-Jokes
Open5e is a community-run, keyless REST API for the 5e SRD — monsters, spells, classes, races, magic items, and more — with Django REST Framework-style search, filtering, field selection, and pagination built in. Its old v1 endpoints are now deprecated in favor of a v2 default, and the actual API is served from a separate `api.open5e.com` host distinct from the Next.js marketing/search site at `open5e.com`.
Geek-Jokes is a small open-source Flask API, hosted on Railway, that returns a single random geeky or programming-themed joke per request. There's no authentication, rate-limit tier, or account required — call the endpoint and get a joke back as plain text or JSON.
