What are some examples of surprising/strange/weird/subversive/powerful use cases of public APIs? Especially interested in ways that an API may be used in a way the facilitators of the API would not have anticipated, and/or just exceptionally clever uses. I'm working on a storytelling project that centers around different concepts in data science/programming/webdev, and I'd love to tackle public APIs! I'm aware of this fantastic list but not a similar list of use cases, and I'd like to find more anecdotes/good stories if at all possible.
Thank you!
Thank you!
