FreePI, Free API Library

Description

This is a library designed to give rapid and easy access to a variety of free APIs found on the internet. It's purpose is to give developers a simple way to get placeholder text, json, or test their application's network connectivity without needing to create their own services or write boilerplate code to access the APIs. It also removes the need to remember the various endpoints associated with the APIs by abstracting http requests to simple class methods.

This Library also serves as a way to document and collect various free apis which can speed development without frequently needing to return to the source documentation.

This Library is created as a MonoRepo with each individual wrapper and project existing as a separate package. It uses Lerna to bootstrap and symlink the packages as well as for managing version control. This means that every tool included in this library can be downloaded separately. It takes inspiration from the Jest, Babel, and React in it's organization.

Simply install the library and import the API wrapper you wish to use. Alternatively, each wrapper can be downloaded individually using the @freepi/ notation.
