  API Snap is a developer utility platform that consolidates 13+ commonly needed
  REST APIs into a single, unified service with one API key. The platform
  provides QR code generation, screenshot capture, image resize and conversion,
  HTML-to-PDF rendering, Markdown-to-HTML conversion, URL metadata extraction,
  cryptographic hashing, JWT decoding, Base64 encoding/decoding, UUID and unique
  ID generation, color format conversion, lorem ipsum text generation, and SVG
  placeholder image generation. API Snap aims to eliminate dependency bloat by
  letting developers replace small libraries and self-hosted utility services
  with simple HTTP requests against a managed, rate-limited, multi-tenant API.
