FakeStoreAPI vs What The Commit

FakeStoreAPI returns sample e-commerce data for prototypes: products across four categories, plus carts, users, and a demo login route that issues a JWT. It needs no signup or API key, and every response is JSON.

What The Commit serves an endless stream of joke commit messages drawn from a fixed pool, built to be piped into git commit -m when you can't think of anything better. The plain-text /index.txt endpoint returns one message per request for shell scripting and git aliases, and a live /index.json endpoint wraps the same message with a stable hash and permalink. It's free, keyless, and carries no rate limit or pricing page.
