  API Snap is a developer utility platform that consolidates 13+ commonly needed REST APIs into a single, unified
  service with one API key. The platform provides QR code generation, screenshot capture, image resize and conversion,
  HTML-to-PDF rendering, Markdown-to-HTML conversion, URL metadata extraction, cryptographic hashing, JWT decoding,
  Base64 encoding/decoding, UUID and unique ID generation, color format conversion, lorem ipsum text generation, and SVG
  placeholder image generation. API Snap aims to eliminate dependency bloat by letting developers replace small
  libraries and self-hosted utility services with simple HTTP requests against a managed, rate-limited, multi-tenant
  API.
