Evil Insults. A free open source projects API by Evil Insult Generator.

Strengths

An open source Business Intelligence server to share data and analytics inside your company.

Metabase grounds every answer in your semantic layer — your metrics and business logic — so you can inspect the query behind it.

Strengths

Prototyping or a tutorial? Pick the one that needs no API key (both qualify).
Calling from a web page? You need CORS. Otherwise route requests through your own server or a serverless function.
Going to production? Favour HTTPS, a strong uptime record and a provider with clear rate limits and terms. Check each API's docs before you commit.
Still unsure? Both are free to try: send one request to each and compare the data you get back.

Neither needs an API key; you can call both straight away.
