The Academy Awards,
as an API.
Oscars data sounds easy to get hold of and isn’t. This serves it properly —97 ceremonies, every nominee, every winner, and every time a category was quietly renamed — so you can query it instead of scraping for it.

Sign in once and a key is issued immediately — no application form. The key travels as the last segment of the path rather than in a header, which is the one genuinely unusual thing about this API.

What you are relying on
One person’s side project, served from Firebase, free of charge. No uptime guarantee and no support contract.
If you are building something that must not break, cache what you take. The data changes once a year, in March.
