Free APIs and tools
for builders.
Cobra Systems gives you instant access to production-grade APIs and developer tools — no credit card, no rate-limit walls, no friction.
A sneak peek
One key. Every endpoint.
Ship in seconds with a clean, predictable REST API.
# Grab data with a single request $ curl https://api.cobrasystems.tech/v1/data \ -H "Authorization: Bearer cobra_sk_live_..." { "status": "ok", "plan": "free", "requests_left": "unlimited" }
// Node.js — using fetch const res = await fetch("https://api.cobrasystems.tech/v1/data", { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer cobra_sk_live_..." } }) const data = await res.json() console.log(data) // { status: "ok", plan: "free" }
# Python — using requests import requests r = requests.get( "https://api.cobrasystems.tech/v1/data", headers={"Authorization": "Bearer cobra_sk_live_..."} ) print(r.json()) # {'status': 'ok', 'plan': 'free'}

Questions
Frequently asked
Yes. The core APIs and tools have a genuinely unlimited free tier. We may add optional paid plans later for teams that need SLAs and priority support, but the free tier stays free.
Never. Join the waitlist with just an email, and when we launch you'll generate an API key instantly — no card, no sales call.
Absolutely. Everything is built for real workloads with sensible rate limits, uptime monitoring and security baked in from day one.
We're aiming for the date on the countdown above. Waitlist members get priority access before the public launch, plus higher free limits.
That's on the roadmap. After launch we'll open a framework so the community can publish and share their own free APIs on the platform.
