I am thinking and API related to health and dietary needs for balanced diet.
This API would integrate symptoms, signs and medical recommendations based on public health research.
It should also allow for current input/output, calculating calories, and make recommendations for dietary adjustments.
API Wish List: The “Empathy Connector” API
Imagine an API that could analyze text or speech in real-time to detect emotional tone and underlying needs not just keywords or sentiment, but deep empathy cues.
How it would help me:
Professionally: As someone who values authentic communication, this API could help developers build apps that better understand and respond to users’ emotional states. For example, a customer support chatbot could sense frustration or confusion and adapt its responses accordingly, creating a more human and supportive experience.
Personally: I often write and share content about growth and mindset. This API could help me tailor my messages more thoughtfully by highlighting subtle emotional shifts in readers’ comments or feedback, so I can respond with greater kindness and relevance.
The idea is to bridge technology and genuine human connection making digital interactions feel less mechanical and more compassionate.
Would love to see something like this in the developer toolkit!
In today’s global remote job market when receiving job offer or request to apply via email or Linkedin we have to think first if it is Scam or not
Every time when I receive a message from hiring manager I have to pause and investigate some time-consuming points
I know many professionals who face this kind of issues. Fake recruiters with convincing profiles, fake email domains or copied branding are becoming more common every day.
This can cause lots of problems like not being paid or stealing identity even Financial losses
I wish there was Global Verification Tool or API that can quickly check
This can protect millions of people and give them safety, transparency, and trust in the digital hiring world.
Food storage API.
I have many items in a deep freezer and pantry that are difficult to track. The ability to scan and track inventory and expiration dates would be amazing for every home cook.
Saves time and adds to a weekly or biweekly shopping list.
Open Mic API
Searchable by location for open mic nights in the area, with start time, venue, host’s information, and the general genre/vibe of the music
An endpoint for an open mic host/promoter to fill in details, and some contact info.
Another to search by location/genre. And a third to report if the event is no longer running, maybe after a few reports it sends an email to the host to confirm if it’s shut down, and deletes if no reply in X days.
It would be useful for when you’re new in town, or travelling and want to find somewhere to play. Or even to test out new songs in a low-stakes, intimate setting while on the road with a travelling act.
Could be integrated with community websites, discord groups for musicians, or the various meetup style sites out there
And vice versa to my above suggestion, from a hiring manager’s perspective it is a common thing when Companies spend money and resources on Hiring process than it turns out that hired person has more than 1 Full-time job.
In most companies there are restricted rules that people should have only one Full-time job
If there was an API which could provide information based on name, surname, date of birth and the origin country, if the person have other job or not might be a game changer.
This can help to save money and support fair hiring process and protect companies from being misled.
Problem : Real time sign language interpreter.
Imagine an API That Could Translate Sign Language in Real-Time in regional languages (places where Technology hasn’t evolved yet)
Most hearing people don’t understand sign language, leading to awkward, frustrating and unable to understand what the next person is saying. At that time we feel sorry for the situation.
Human interpreters aren’t always available, and learning sign language takes time and effort most people don’t invest in.
But, what if we can build an API that can translate/interpret the sign language to the next person.
The idea is:
→ to build a real-time Sign Language Translation API
→ This API can be plugged into apps, websites or devices.
→ It take video input of hand gestures and spoke or written language instantly as output.
Thank you! 
The current “solution” is willpower. Just scroll less, be more intentional, practice digital minimalism. But this ignores the fundamental truth: these platforms are engineered to be irresistible. I don’t need another app telling me screen time is bad. I need something that catches me in those vulnerable moments and says “hey, remember when you used to actually do things?”
The API transforms the moment of boredom from a trap into an opportunity. Instead of opening Instagram and getting sucked in, apps could offer personalised suggestions like:
You give the API a list of your interests, how long they take, and good times to do them. You provide it with context - whether you’re at home or out, tired or energized, have 10 minutes or 2 hours. It learns from your feedback to get better at suggesting things you’ll actually want to do.

It doesn’t just solve doom scrolling but it helps people rediscover the joy of doing things they actually care about!
i can see that there are pond of ideas here from other people!
I’ll keep it simple. So i would like to develop an api where I’ll get details of my running ai agents, no matter where and which platform ther are running, if i get a details of it like their name, task that they created for and llm or sub-agent that they are connecting to. It would be helpful for me as a Ai expert to view everything in one place.
Thanks,

MuscleUpMyBrain API
My API is very playful 
and creative 
It will provide me with a surprise puzzle 
trivia 
or a game 
of 12 minutes to activate my brain 
while I take a sip of fresh 
cold brew 
every morning 
This will help me to freshen up my mood 
to start the day with a blast 
@danny-dainton Find my answer to the challenge -
Back in India, I have faced this issue multiple times where after parking a vehicle in a multi-storied parking lot especially in places like Malls, Theatres or airports, i forget to remember where i parked the vehcle, and often have to remember using the underground lot number, pillar markings or section numbers. And in worst cases there is no gps in such enclosed and underground parking spaces which makes it tough to trace back the car even if i would have marked it.
So , considering this problem which i have faced very often and have not found any application or solution thats already there around the internet .
So i wish this API existed or someone creates in the near future where
This would reduce the time being wasted to find the vehicles especially when we go out to spend time with our family and loved ones.
why should an API be just a technical endpoint all the time?
Why not something that’s gonna help me with my current situation in life (lmao), especially with my girlfriend?
My girl and I are currently facing a lot of rifts, and she isn’t very communicative. I totally get that, but how about an “API” that somehow helps me understand how she feels by reading her texts, listening to her voice, or looking at her face on a video call? Maybe it could give me a better understanding of her.
if someone’s still reading this.. let go about it.
why all this?
I mean, I don’t blame her, but some people aren’t super talkative, and I totally get that. It’s hard to know what’s going on in their head. Like, is she mad at me? Is she just tired? Or is she over me? I feel kinda dumb just guessing.
can it really help me?
maybe maybe-not, it could definitely be a personal sidekick right?
Aight, what do we name the API now? lol
VacationSpot API that details below around that date:
Thanks.
I wish there was an API which can be used as a plug-n-play, meaning which can connect to any website or app for which there is no API present and then let me do a permissible task, repeatedly and according to my own setting.
e.g. I check my bus’s live timing each morning/evening on a website. I want it to be automated so that each morning it provides me the timing without me clicking buttons on the website. I want to similarly automate many of my tasks, all through one single API and at one single place.
A secure internet with FuturAPI.
The internet allows users around the world to quickly access and retrieve large amounts of Information. With the aid of a clever API, web applications may be able to manage secure data.
The purpose of that API is to ensure that encrypted data are sent to the server and there is no leak at the front and the back end.
Description
The futurAPI shall operate with all websites or any framework that builds web applications. The user is alerted for instance that his password is not encrypted whilst he was submitting the form to the server. He may be redirected to a web application that secure sensitive data.
Also, the futurAPI returns another alert to the end user if the password is decrypted at the backend. The user may be asked to change his unique Identifier or reset his password.
The futurAPI manages the sent and received requests through the hypertext transfer protocol.
The futurAPI goes beyond the encription limitations and brute force attacks problems.The API ensures the privacy of sensitive data such as the password or the user unique identifier.
meta tag generator api
provide it a wall of text, and it will process the text, use an AI model to understand the meaning, and return meta labeling. can be helpful when searching internal docs, and if you search for a term that isnt directly in the doc, but would make sense as a relevant metatag
I’ve always dreamed of having an API that could blend two things I absolutely love: RPGs and smart home automation. The idea is simple, but it gets me excited every time I think about it. Imagine an API that gives the Game Master the power to control the entire mood of a session with just a voice command. Something like, “Let’s step into Clara’s house, where she’s playing the piano,” and boom—lights dim, classical music starts playing, maybe even a candlelight hue kicks in. Or if the party hears something strange in the forest, just say the word and suddenly you’ve got ambient woodland sounds and flickering green lights filling the room.
It’s the kind of thing that feels like magic—and it should, right? That’s what RPGs are all about. Creativity, immersion, storytelling. And if the tech can help us get there without spending a fortune on studio-grade lighting setups or super fancy speakers, even better.
I’ve actually started experimenting with something like this at home. I’ve got a few Tuya-enabled devices, and I’ve been messing around with natural language processing, using Whisper for speech-to-text, and building a lightweight MCP server to control my devices. Most of it kinda works already (more or less—I’ll let you know when it doesn’t crash). I’m planning to keep going, and who knows, maybe I’ll share the project with the community soon.
Here’s an example of what this might look like in action. The text gets interpreted into ambiance, even though it’s still missing the speech-to-text part—I’m already using some of the APIs I’ve started building for Tuya components and Alexa.
Request (Context):
Master says:
“Entering a room. The room is quiet, and the walls seem to be almost swallowing you with all the yellow, dress-like drapes. That filthy hospital once was home to many doctors, but now it’s abandoned…”
RPG Master Helper API Response:
Actions:
play_on_alexa: “silent mysterious”dim_ceiling_lights: 30%flicker_ceiling_light_interval: every 30 secondsset_fill_lights: yellow @ 30% (fixed)What excites me the most is the potential for this to be used by anyone. You don’t need to be a developer or a wizard with soldering irons. If you love RPGs and you’ve got a few smart devices, this API could turn your home into a dynamic theatre for your adventures. It brings people together around a table (real or virtual) and adds just enough tech to spark the imagination without getting in the way. Holding my horses to not start right now to develop this idea.
This one’s for the devs, the data nerds, and honestly… anyone who’s ever said, “I just want a chart, not a whole React dashboard.”
I’ve always wished for a simple, no-hassle API that takes raw data and gives you back a clean, beautiful chart image. That’s it. No npm installs. No chart config hell. No pixel pushing. You just pass your values and a few parameters into a URL and get an image back—bar, line, scatter, pie—whatever fits your vibe.
I can already see how helpful it’d be: embedding GitHub stats in a README, auto-generating a chart from CI results, or even dropping a quick visual into a blog post. Personally, I’d use it to render coverage reports and test summaries straight from my Postman test runner—or plug it into a Slack bot so the team gets visual status updates without needing to open a dashboard.
Here’s what it might look like in practice:
Request (URL):
GET /chart?type=bar&labels=Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday&values=5,7,3&color=indigo&title=Bug Fixes This Week
Response:
A clean, exportable chart image:
The fun part? I already have an idea of how I’d build it. Probably render charts using SVG, layer in styling with Tailwind or inline CSS, then run it through a headless browser like Puppeteer to export as PNG or JPEG. Lightweight, composable, and developer-friendly.
And this wouldn’t just be for devs. I can imagine students generating charts for reports, content creators visualising poll results, or even someone making memes out of AI-generated data (hey, no judgment).
Honestly, this feels like one of those side projects that starts as a weekend experiment and quietly becomes something you use every week. And if I ever do build it, I promise to give it a ridiculous name. Probably “Chartify”… or worse. You’ve been warned.
If you guys know any tools like this already out there, please DM me hehehe.
I’ve always found it difficult to understand why doctors prescribe certain medicines. As someone without a background in the medical field, I’m often unsure about why a medicine was prescribed or what it actually does.
Medical-Info API will provide clear, simple and accessible explanation about any medicine - like its purpose, why its prescribed, and side effects.
A user can simply input the medicine name and will be able to get following useful information:
Medicinal-Info API will help people understand their medicines in everyday language. It will help in:
This ensures fewer doubts and more trust in treatment. It will not only help me but also help everyone including parents managing their child’s prescriptions, health workers in rural areas, clinic apps struggling for better patient communication, and many more.
