A few months ago I wanted to create a website that displayed metrics about NBA players that I care about. I was surprised and frustrated by the lack of free API services, so I ditched my original idea and decided to create a free API. Hopefully this will encourage people to build some interesting websites!<p>It's completely free, and it doesn't require an email address. There are a few gotchas spelled out on the API docs, but all in all it's a serviceable first pass. I'm happy to spend some time iterating and making improvements if people find value in this. Feel free to PM me with any suggestions, comments, and hate mail.<p>Check it out here: www.balldontlie.io<p>Here's an example of something you can build with the API: <a href="https://ball-dont-lie.herokuapp.com/" rel="nofollow">https://ball-dont-lie.herokuapp.com/</a>
