The Lord of the Rings

API

Comprehensive API for Lord of the Rings books, movies, characters, and quotes

Overview

The Lord of the Rings API provides RESTful access to Tolkien's legendarium data, including endpoints for books, movies (with box office stats), characters, quotes, and chapters. Responses are JSON-formatted and support filtering, sorting, and pagination. Ideal for building fan websites, trivia apps, educational tools, or integrating LOTR content into games. Key endpoints: /book (list all books), /movie (film details), /character (profiles), /quote (famous lines), and /chapter (book sections). Developers can tailor results to specific needs, like fetching quotes from a particular character or filtering movies by release year.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://the-one-api.dev/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
