API League
API League is a single-key hub of 55 read-only HTTP APIs spanning twelve categories — Books, News, Humor, Food, Knowledge, Games, Art, Web, Text, Media, Math and Storage — operated by skycraft GmbH of Dresden, Germany, which has been shipping developer APIs since 2015. Every operation is an HTTP GET against https://api.apileague.com, authenticated with one API key passed as an api-key query parameter or an x-api-key header, and described by a published OpenAPI 3.0 contract (v1.9.0) that carries an operationId, a summary, a tag and a worked response example on all 55 operations. Billing is metered in tokens per day rather than requests per month, and every response returns X-API-Quota-Request, X-API-Quota-Used and X-API-Quota-Left so a consumer can read its remaining budget at runtime. Client libraries are generated for 21 languages from that contract, though only the JavaScript client is published to a package registry. Pricing is fully self-serve across four tiers from a free 50-token-per-day plan to $199/mo, with a 99.9% uptime target and a public status page.
API League publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Art API, Books API, Food API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include API Marketplace, Books, Developer Tools, Food, and Humor.
API League’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 27 more developer resources.
