Genshin Impact vs Universalis
genshin.dev is a fan-made, keyless static-data API for Genshin Impact covering characters, weapons, artifacts, elements, and related in-game entities, with an always-current instance mirrored at genshin.jmp.blue. Per-type list, detail, and image endpoints (e.g. /characters, /characters/albedo, /characters/albedo/card) support an optional lang parameter for localized responses; it only mirrors static reference data and never touches a player's live game account.
Universalis is a crowdsourced market board API for Final Fantasy XIV, aggregating item listings, prices, and sale history submitted by the game's own community-plugin ecosystem across every data center and world. It exposes a keyless REST API alongside a WebSocket feed for real-time listing updates, both free to use. The old `/docs/index.html` path now permanently redirects to a dedicated documentation site.
