Vedic Society vs Wizard World

The companion API to Rig Veda in Anindita Basu's Indica project, this one is a lexicon rather than a hymn index: it returns Nagari script, transliteration, category (flora, fauna, geography, kinship, and more), and meaning for nouns drawn from Vedic literature, via /words/{word}, /descriptions/{description}, and /categories/{category} endpoints. Like its sibling API, the stored docs URL had moved from a flat /html/vs.html page (now a 404) to the site's restructured /topics/ path; the live keyless backend at indica-1hwj.onrender.com/vs/v2 echoed a live Origin header back on a real /words/ash call, confirming CORS is open rather than unknown.

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.
