Harry Potter Charactes vs IMDbOT
A community-maintained JSON API returning detailed Harry Potter character data — house, ancestry, wand, patronus, and portrait imagery — plus a separate spells endpoint. The project's own README lists its original Heroku host only as a fallback; that Heroku app has since been deleted, so the directory's URL is corrected here to the project's primary Render-hosted instance, which serves fine.
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.
