Strava is the social network for athletes. The data that can be extracted include: Activites, Athletes, Clubs, Gears, Routes, SegmentEfforts, Segments, Streams, Uploads, Models |
The default rate limit allows 200 requests every 15 minutes, with up to 2,000 requests per day |
https://www.strava.com/api/v3/ |
Check how much data you can retrieve. My guess this is only to extract your own data or data from users who authorize you |

The data that can be retrieved are large amounts of statistical data to analyze anything from income to education and sustainability. The API is from Danmarks Statistik (Danish Statistics). |
There doesn’t seem to be any paid version and no rate limit. However they do specify a limit on the amount of data that can be extracted at once, but that can possibly be changed in the future if needed. Additionally it seems the API can run in a console version on the website platform. |

Great resource! Be mindful that census data does not capture individual behaviour, but rather aggregated data. Anyways still a goldmine. |

Using the Twitter API you can gather ready made data observational data in the form of tweets, users, and followers. |
Low rate-limit access (Exact number of requests is not stated) |
https://api.twitter.com/1.1 |
This API used to be a fantastic resource. Unfortunately it is now pretty useless, unless one can pay a lot of money. Here are the rate limits: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/rate-limits#v2-limits-free |

Reddit API: provides insight into public opinion, trends, and sentiments. We can gather data about popular posts, comments, and interactions on this social media. |
60 requests per minute |
https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/ |
Rate limits are quite low with the latest version of the API. If you are fine working with old data (before 2023), you can probably find some Reddit dumps online collected via the pushshift API |

The API can be used to gather all kinds of information from the q/a website Quora. |
There are no explicit limits, although quora will probably limit you, if you have too many requests. |

This is an automatic scraper (not an API). Looks interesting, may be not straightforward to use. |

Nationalize.io is a very simple API that uses a machine learning model to predict the nationality of a given surname. Therefore, from this API you can gather only the predicted nationality of people and the probability of the prediction. This can be used in tandem with https://agify.io/ and https://genderize.io/ to predict age and gender for the same name. It’s also possible to search for up to 10 names at a time. |
The free version can be used for up to 100 names per day. |
The API can be found at https://nationalize.io/, where the only parameter is surname, making the API endpoint https://api.nationalize.io/?name=your_query |
Interesting! Especially used in combination with other data to estimate nationality from names. There can be some biases though. |

You are able to gather image data types (e.g. png, jpg), video data types (mp4, gif). |
Depends on what features are being used in the API. Here is a reference for the rate limits: https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/reference/ratelimits/ |
https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/api/v5/ |
Could be a nice resource. Quickly skimmingthrough it, it seems like this may be more relevant to advertisers to check their own ads. |
| 20 |
Contains various APIs both free and premium, for various things (e.g. job search, food nutrients) |
Varying by endpoint |
