APIs to build your next projects from
Use these APIs to hone your coding skills plus reveal your masterpiece by building these projects!
If you have no idea what to build, well, this short and concise article got you. I have gathered a collection of awesome APIs you can use for your next projects.
Using APIs are not only fun; using them in your project will showcase your skills as a high-level developer. I recommend you have at least three or more available online projects in which you’ve used data fetched from an external API.
Leverage these interesting APIs for your next projects.
Food API
Lets you have access over 330,000 recipes from around the world and 80,000 food products. It’s not a public API—you need to generate an API key to keep track of the requests you’re making from this endpoint.
Build an app which provides various recipes and its ingredients in a separate page or while hover the recipe. You may add the search functionality also if you’re and intermediate developer.
Spotify API
Spotify’s web API lets you query data about music artists, albums, and tracks directly from the Spotify Data Catalogue.
You may build a Spotify clone project or a 2.0 version of it with more new interesting features.
News API
Fetch and search for news from over 30,000 publications worldwide. The News API not only provides news data but also articles from various blogs.
Developing a project that provide live breaking news from various source in one webpage would be a great idea to build.
Pexels API
As you might already know, Pexels provides a wide range of free photos and videos of anything you want. Its API lets you have access to their free photos and videos.
Using this API is a great choice if you are new to APIs and web development. Building a gallery project would be an awesome choice.
Fixer API
A lightweight and simple API that provides you with historical and current foreign exchange rates. Get the most accurate and up-to-date data using this API.
Build an app which tracks various currencies from around the world if it drops or goes up, and at the end of the day or week announce the best performing currency of a country. (this one goes for advance developers)
