APIs are fun to tinker with while learning and can also save you huge amounts of time while building new products or features.

Every week I scour the web for new and interesting APIs. Here's what I've found this week:

Swell - This API lets you create e-commerce sites, apps, widgets, or any sort of online storefront. It's essentially a "headless" e-commerce builder that lets you build a custom e-commerce experience without having to rebuild the basics, like checkout, abandoned cart emails etc.

Vector Express - This free API lets you convert vector files. If you want to display .eps files online, for example, you could use this API to convert them to SVGs. Useful for building some sort of online marketplace for vectors or streamlining design workflows.

Improve MX API - This API lets you automate email domain & alias creation. You could use this for testing transactional emails, or to make a disposable email service or a Chrome extension that generate email aliases for every service you sign up for, which would make it super easy to unsubscribe.

I'm not affiliated with any of these APIs, but I have started a newsletter where I share new & interesting APIs I come across.

If you've recently come across an API that other developers would find interesting, please let me know in the comments 👇🏼
