Harry Potter Charactes vs STAPI
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.
STAPI is a deep, independently maintained REST API covering Star Trek canon across every series and film — tens of thousands of records in aggregate across dozens of resource types (7,571 characters, 6,822 performers, 1,443 spacecraft, 860 episodes and 759 species when measured live), each with dozens of structured fields (birth dates, ranks, serial numbers, alternate-reality flags). Queries go through POST search endpoints under /api/v1/rest rather than simple GETs, and no key is required.
