Earthquake API

Real-time and historical earthquake data sourced from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program. Pull ready-made summary feeds by magnitude band and period (significant, M4.5+, M2.5+, M1.0+ or all, over the past hour, day, week or month), run a full FDSN search by time window, magnitude range and geographic radius, count matching events, fetch the latest quakes worldwide, or look up a single event by its USGS id. Every event comes as a clean record with magnitude and type, place, ISO timestamps, depth and coordinates, felt reports, shaking intensity (CDI/MMI), PAGER alert level, tsunami flag and significance. Authoritative public data delivered through a fast, reliable API — ideal for insurance and risk, IoT and sensor alerting, newsrooms, research and disaster-response apps.

Geo Distance API

A fast, fully-local great-circle geospatial toolkit: compute the haversine distance between two coordinates (in km, m, miles or nautical miles), the initial and final compass bearing, the geographic midpoint, the destination point reached from an origin on a bearing at a given distance, and a bounding box around a center for a radius. Pure server-side compute, no third-party upstream, so responses are instant and always available. Ideal for logistics, delivery and fleet apps, store locators, real-estate search, travel and mapping tools.

Planets API

Physical and orbital data for the solar system and beyond: every planet, dwarf planet, major moon and the Sun with NASA fact-sheet values (mass, radius, surface gravity, density, escape velocity, mean temperature, orbital and rotation period, semi-major axis, moon count and rings), plus a searchable catalogue of more than 6,000 confirmed exoplanets from the NASA Exoplanet Archive (radius, mass, orbital period, equilibrium temperature, distance in light-years, host star, discovery year and method). Filter exoplanets by host star, discovery method, year, size or distance, compare solar-system bodies side by side, and look up any single body or exoplanet by name. Every endpoint accepts input via the query string or the request body and returns lean JSON. Pure server-side data (no third-party upstream), so responses are instant and always available. Ideal for education, EdTech, astronomy apps, data visualisation and science tools.

Chess Puzzles API

Serve chess tactics puzzles on demand: a random puzzle (optionally constrained by theme and rating), a single puzzle by id, full search and filtering by tactic theme and difficulty rating, and the complete list of available themes. Every puzzle includes the starting position as FEN, the full solution as UCI moves, the side to move, the difficulty rating, popularity and play count, theme and opening tags and a direct link to train it on Lichess. Built on a curated 20,000-puzzle sample of the open Lichess puzzle database (CC0) spanning 73 themes and ratings from roughly 400 to 3100. Every endpoint accepts input via the query string or the request body and returns lean JSON. Pure server-side data (no third-party upstream), so responses are instant and always available. Ideal for chess apps, training tools, "puzzle of the day" features and games.
