A full featured Facts API. REST access with json/xml/jsonp result support. On this day birth and death support, random fact, keyword search support etc.
Bring your own key. This API needs your own Facts API key - get one from the provider, add it once below, and the proxy injects it on every call. Your OmniStream plan covers the unified SDK, key storage, and proxy - the provider's own rate limits still apply to your key.
This is a community listing. If you own this API, you can request ownership.

Yes. Facts API uses apiKey authentication, so you bring your own key from the provider. You store it once on OmniStream and the proxy injects it into every call, so your code only ever sends your Omni key.
A full featured Facts API. REST access with json/xml/jsonp result support. On this day birth and death support, random fact, keyword search support etc. It exposes 9 endpoints over GET, including GET /fact/categories, GET /fact/fod, GET /fact/fod/categories.
Install the OmniStream SDK for your language and call Facts API through it. The client is generated from this API's OpenAPI spec, so parameters and responses are fully typed, and the same client also calls every other API in the marketplace.
You can start on the free plan. OmniStream charges for the unified SDK, key storage and proxy rather than for Facts API itself, and Facts API's own rate limits still apply to your provider key.
