Choosing between these Game & Anime APIs
Game APIs are the best-documented free APIs on the internet, largely because they are maintained by fan communities who use them themselves. PokéAPI in particular is the single most popular API for learning REST — it is key-free, deeply linked and returns large, realistic payloads.
Several APIs here are versioned in ways the older public lists get wrong. The D&D 5e API, for example, now serves rules under a dated path; the example on its page uses the current working URL because it was executed before publishing.
