jService

jService is an open source Ruby on Rails trivia API that serves approximately 200,000 Jeopardy! questions, answers, and categories scraped from the J! Archive fan site. The original public deployment at jservice.io is no longer operational, but the project (sottenad/jService, MIT licensed) remains available for self-hosting against PostgreSQL. The API exposes random clues, final Jeopardy clues, filtered clue queries, category listings, single-category lookup, and invalid-clue reporting under /api/*.
