40 APIs Every Developer Should Use (in 12 minutes)

In this video, I introduce you to 40 APIs that every developer should know and use. From social media to finance to weather, these APIs will help you create amazing applications.

Most of these APIs are free without an API key, but might require some sort of sign up or a trial to begin with. For a handful of these APIs, I create a project in Python to show you what the capabilities are.

Had a lot of fun with this video! Let me know what you think of the direction as this is a bit outside my comfort zone :)

What videos would you like to see on the channel? 🤔🤔

Honestly. I very rarely comment on videos. But this was such an awesome one.
Really good editing, zooms where writing the URLs, selecting values, animation... Cant imagine how much time it took
Loved it

[seanmcelroy]

This video is a great resource for side project ideas.

[brockobama]

Idk if i can use 40 APIs in 12 minutes

[multimedia]

Great video! Thanks for giving us inspiration for a next side project.

[MyCodingDiary]

Thanks for making complex topics simple to understand.

[KousseilaMd]

the loading circle for every API is a great touch on the video ngl

[sharokhkeshawarz]

oh boy lemme get some popcorn! love you bro!

[mearkatman]

I really like the dino pass API. Great for generating random passwords for users.

[nclsDesign]

Instead of GeoKeo, I would suggest Mapbox. Way more requests, way more features etc.

[randomtimessomehow]

Nice video! Would be cool if you would have shown some example websites who use these niche APIs (not sure how to find out which site use them lol)

[garrettpeppers]

Geoapify is a great alternative to geokeo with a larger function set. 3:45

[MyCodingDiary]

I can't believe I didn't find your channel sooner. Subscribed!

[luisperez]

Need a nap after cramming so many APIs into my brain at once haha

[m.ehtizan]

Hey Lewis, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really insane and informative video. You have amazing knowledge bro!

I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel

[Tahycoon]

APIs are single-handedly in the top 5 most useful things created for developers.
I am in love with them. But not too much with their prices xD

[Richetechguy]

Didn't know you're Candian as well great content 👌

[BIZZYKILL]

Bro this video gave me motion sickness. 😂😂
