Free to Use Varies (check documentation)

Overview

STAPI is a free, open Star Trek encyclopedia API covering every series, character, starship, episode, and more from the entire franchise. No API key is required — just send a GET or POST request and explore the Star Trek universe programmatically. Great for fan projects and trivia apps.

💡

Beginner Tip

Start with the search endpoints (e.g., /rest/v1/common/series/search) to browse available data before diving into single-entity lookups by UID. The API uses pagination, so always check the "page" object in the response.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Empty results or null fields Some STAPI entities have incomplete data depending on the Star Trek series coverage.
Check the "page.totalElements" field to confirm data exists, and try broader search terms.
400 Bad Request on search Invalid or misspelled query parameter names.
Refer to the STAPI documentation at stapi.co to verify the exact parameter names for each entity type.
Slow response times STAPI is a community-hosted project and may occasionally be slower than commercial APIs.
