The Rick and Morty API is a RESTful and GraphQL API based on the television show Rick and Morty. You will access to data about hundreds of characters, images, locations and episodes. The Rick and Morty API is filled with canonical information as seen on the TV show.
GraphQL
The GraphQL can be accesed in the base url: https://rickandmortyapi.com/graphql/ and you can run queries like this one:
query {
characters(page: 2, filter: { name: "rick" }) {
info {
count
}
results {
name
}
}
character(id: 1) {
id
}
}REST
For the REST api, the base URL is: https://rickandmortyapi.com/api/. The base url contains information about all available API's resources. All requests are GET requests and go over https. All responses will return data in json. A request to the base URL would return the following data:
{
"characters": "https://rickandmortyapi.com/api/character",
"locations": "https://rickandmortyapi.com/api/location",
"episodes": "https://rickandmortyapi.com/api/episode"
}This open source API is exceptional for testing purposes, it could be used as well for students, where you need to explain how an API works, how to interact with it from a specific language and so. Besides, it is about Rick and Morty, what could go wrong?
