🌐 Project Description

This project is created specifically for readers and students of Code.mu — those who not only study programming but strive to apply knowledge in practice. We've collected a collection of free, open APIs that are perfect for educational projects, pet projects, hackathons, and skill testing.

🎯 Project Goal

To provide developers — from beginners to advanced — with real data sources that can be used without registration, without keys, without limitations. This is an alternative to "synthetic" tasks: instead of fictional arrays — real requests, real responses, real integration.

📚 What's Inside

  • API Categories: weather, horoscopes, news, exchange rate, random data generators, and much more.
  • Documentation in English: brief, clear, without unnecessary terminology.
  • Data formats: JSON, XML, plain text — everything you need for parsing practice and HTTP work.

🚀 Why It's Important

  • Learning with real data — it's not just more interesting, it's more effective.
  • Interview preparation — many tasks require API work skills.
  • Portfolio — projects with real APIs look more convincing than "todo list on divs".
  • Architecture understanding — REST, HTTP methods, status codes, headers, CORS — all this becomes clear when working with real APIs.

This project is not just a list of links. It's a tool for growth. It's created considering the philosophy of Code.mu: you need to learn through practice, without magic, without frameworks, with an understanding of what happens under the hood. If you want not just to "write code" but to understand how it works — this is for you.
