cheapass.dev
We write fetch() calls so you don't have to.
One API key for the parts of your app that aren't the product: RSS feeds, web pages turned into markdown, cross-posting to X and Bluesky, geocoding, weather, QR codes. You could wire up any of these yourself. You've been meaning to, but now you don't have to.
Why so cheap? Because the expensive part was already done, for free, by people better at it. OpenStreetMap draws the maps, the SEC publishes the filings, USGS measures the earthquakes. We normalize the JSON, cache it once for everyone, and forward a small bill.
cheapass is in beta
We're letting developers in a batch at a time while we harden the APIs.

Each product's tag below is live, pulled from the status page. soon means the spec is written, the docs page is real, and the endpoint returns 501 until the spreadsheet says it pays for itself.
