Earlier quoted context omitted.

I love their pricing options include larger ranges of numbers, and enterprise class also includes negative numbers. ha ha. Best part is that 'sign up' links to https://archive.org/donate/

I think their ad placement is even better than their pricing. API Result: GET https://api.isevenapi.xyz/api/iseven/6/ {"ad":"Buy isEvenCoin, the hottest new cryptocurrency!","iseven":true}

I'm glad to see https://isevenapi.xyz/ made the list.

What I really want is isoddapi.xyz. Just like the npm package, all it should do is call isevenapi.xyz and invert the result.

I hope someone sets up isthirteenapi.xyz.

I did a similar deep dive to find all the specifically Music-related APIs that are available a few years ago. I've since moved on to other projects but maybe someone will find it useful / maybe OP can add the entries in my list to FreePublicAPIs.com!

I'm relieved to know the Rick and Morty API is in such good health.

I don't really understand why one would build an HTTP API for this. I can't imagine the database being more than a few megabytes, the whole thing could probably be served as a JSON file.

I assume it's intended to be used in an educational context. Learning how to work with a simple API is more fun that way.
