I created a free open source Kanji API

おはよう! I created a free kanji API called Muzukanji. It’s connected to a database containing 13108 kanji with fields as seen in the example below.
Here’s the documentation and usage examples, I hope it’s understandable: [https://github.com/baqterya/muzukanji](https://github.com/baqterya/muzukanji)

It can be used to retrieve kanji like this:

{
“id”: 1,
“kanji”: “一”,
“meanings”: “One, One Radical (no.1)”,
“kunyomi”: “ひと-, ひと.つ”,
“kunyomiRomaji”: “hito-, hito.tsu”,
“onyomi”: “イチ, イツ”,
“onyomiRomaji”: “ichi, itsu”,
“strokes”: 1,
“jlptLevel”: “N5”,
“jyoyoGradeTaught”: 1,
“mostUsedInNewspapers”: 2
}

The API is hosted on Amazon Web Service and I have not registered a custom domain, so the link to the API itself looks admittedly fishy but that’s just how default AWS links are.
I’d love to get some feedback from actual users and maybe it might prove useful to someone.
