NoFrillzApps

NoFrillzApps API

Every developer tool on this site, as a REST API. JSON, hashing, Base64, UUIDs, timestamps, colors, CSV — callable from any language.

The API is built for internal tooling, CI pipelines and product features that need dependable text-processing primitives without pulling in heavy libraries. Authentication is a simple API-key header; usage is metered per key.
