# Star Wars API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/star-wars/  
**Website:** https://swapi.info  
**APIs profiled:** 6

The Star Wars REST API (SWAPI / swapi.info) is the world's first quantified and programmatically-accessible data source for all the data from the Star Wars canon universe. It provides structured JSON access to films, characters (people), starships, vehicles, planets, and species from the Star Wars universe via a simple HTTP GET API. The API requires no authentication, has no rate limits, and is completely free and open source. Originally created by Paul Hallett as swapi.co and later swapi.dev, the current maintained iteration at swapi.info was rebuilt by Sivaram P as a CDN-powered, file-based API serving over one million daily requests with sub-50ms global response times via Vercel and Cloudflare.
