Cipher API

healthy 4,732 Subscribers

Encode and decode classical ciphers and alphabets as an API — Morse code, ROT13, the Caesar shift (with any shift 1-25), Atbash, the NATO phonetic alphabet, leetspeak, A1Z26 (letters to numbers) and string reversal. Send text and a cipher and get the transformed string back, or decode it again — most are perfectly reversible. Everything runs locally, so it is fast and always available. Ideal for puzzle and escape-room games, ARGs, treasure hunts, education and coding lessons, retro and hacker-themed UIs, and chat bots. For base64/hex/URL encodings use the Encoding API; for cryptographic hashes use the Hash API.

Classical Music API

The classical-music repertoire as an API — powered by Open Opus, an open catalogue of classical composers and their works. Search composers by name or browse them by musical epoch (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and beyond), getting each composer's full name, epoch and birth/death years; then list a composer's works, optionally filtered by genre — orchestral, chamber, keyboard, stage, vocal or opera. From Bach and Mozart to Beethoven's 44 orchestral works, it turns the canon of classical music into a clean search-and-browse API. A classical-music repertoire reference — distinct from commercial music catalogues of tracks, artists and albums. Ideal for classical-music, education, concert-programming, streaming and media applications. Open data from Open Opus (CC-BY-SA / CC0).

Example Sentences API

Real example sentences with human translations as an API — powered by Tatoeba, the large collaborative corpus of millions of sentences in hundreds of languages, each linked to translations contributed and reviewed by real people (not machine translation). Search for sentences containing a word or phrase in one language and get how they are actually translated into another — perfect for seeing a word "in the wild", building vocabulary and flashcards, or as a human-quality translation aid. Look up any sentence by id to get its full set of translations. From "good morning" in English to its German, French, Spanish, Japanese or Mandarin equivalents, across ISO-639-3 languages, it is ideal for language-learning, vocabulary, flashcard, dictionary-companion and linguistics applications. A human-translated example-sentence corpus — distinct from dictionaries (definitions), machine translation and word APIs. Open data from Tatoeba (CC-BY 2.0 FR / CC0).

Wikibooks API

Wikibooks as an API — the Wikimedia library of free, open-content textbooks, manuals and learning guides, community-written and freely licensed. Wikibooks covers programming and computer science, mathematics, the natural and social sciences, languages, engineering, cooking, music and much more, organised as books made up of chapters. This API wraps the official Wikibooks MediaWiki service into clean JSON. /v1/search?q=python programming searches the library and returns matching book and chapter titles with a text snippet and word count. /v1/book?title=Python Programming returns a book's overview — its short description, the plain-text introduction, a cover thumbnail and the canonical URL. /v1/chapters?title=Python Programming lists the book's chapters (its subpages, e.g. Python Programming/Operators, Python Programming/Classes), each with the chapter name and URL, so you can browse and present a whole book's structure. Titles are Wikibooks page names; get the exact title from /v1/search first. Ideal for e-learning platforms and study apps, open-education and OER tools, reading lists, and developer/teaching content aggregators. Content is licensed CC BY-SA by the Wikibooks community. Distinct from book-metadata catalogues — this is actual free educational content. For travel guides see the Wikivoyage API, for the encyclopaedia the Wikipedia API.

Kanji API

The Japanese kanji writing system as an API — every Jōyō, Kyōiku and Jinmeiyō kanji with its on/kun readings, English meanings, JLPT level, school grade, stroke count and newspaper frequency. Look up a single kanji (e.g. 字 → grade 1, JLPT 4, readings ジ / あざ, meanings "character, letter"), find every kanji that shares a kana reading (e.g. かじ), list the vocabulary that uses a given kanji, or pull a whole standard set (Jōyō 2,136 · Kyōiku · grade-1…grade-6 · Jinmeiyō) with paging. Backed by the open KANJIDIC2 / JMdict datasets via kanjiapi.dev. Ideal for Japanese-learning and flashcard apps, SRS/Anki-style study tools, furigana and reading aids, language-education platforms and linguistics research.
