Ron Swanson Quotes vs STAPI

A minimal JSON API returning quotes from Ron Swanson, the Parks and Recreation character, with random, count-based, and search endpoints. The maintainer archived the source repo in January 2026 after 11 years of running it, but explicitly committed to keeping the Heroku instance itself alive — confirmed still serving live on this run.

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.
