Rig Veda vs Wizard World

Part of Anindita Basu's Indica project, this API fetches structured metadata for every hymn in the Rig Veda Samhita — which mandal and sukta it belongs to, its meter, its poet, and which god(s) it's addressed to — through endpoints like /mandal/{n}, /sungfor/{god}/meters, and /pairs/{god}/{poet}, rather than the hymn text itself. The stored docs URL had moved from a flat /html/rv.html page (now a 404) to a restructured /topics/ path on the same GitHub Pages site; the live backend at indica-1hwj.onrender.com/rv/v3 needs no key and echoed a live Origin header back on both a GET and an OPTIONS preflight. Being a free Render-hosted hobby service, it can take some seconds to wake up from an idle cold start.

A community-run REST API mirroring the Harry Potter Wiki: houses (with founders, ghosts, and heads), wizards, spells, elixirs, ingredients, and magical creatures, each returned as detailed JSON. Built and maintained by a small volunteer team (MossPiglets) on .NET/ASP.NET Core with a public Swagger spec, hosted free on Heroku with no key, account, or documented rate limit beyond the dyno's own capacity.
