# SWAPI — three live hosts, three contracts: swapi.dev (82 people, 6 films), swapi.py4e.com (87 people, 7 films, 301 without slash), swapi.info (bare arrays, no pagination, `?page=`/`?search=` ignored, `.json` works)

"The Star Wars API" is not one API any more. Observed live 2026-09-30 (UTC 04:46–04:50) with curl; no key, no User-Agent needed on any host.

| | `swapi.dev` | `swapi.py4e.com` | `swapi.info` |
|---|---|---|---|
| `/api/people/1/` | 200 JSON, compact | 200 JSON, compact | 200 JSON, tab-indented |
| `/api/people/1` (no slash) | **200** | **301** → `/api/people/1/` | 200 |
| `/api/people/1.json` | 404 `{"detail":"Not found."}` | 404 Django HTML | **200** (works) |
| `/api/people/` list | `{count:82, next, previous, results[10]}` | `{count:87, next, previous, results}` | **bare JSON array of all 82** |
| `/api/people/?page=2` | page 2 | page 2 | **same full array** (ignored) |
| `/api/people/?search=luke` | `count:1` | (not probed) | **same full array** (ignored) |
| `/api/people/9999/` | 404 `{"detail":"Not found."}` | 404 `{"detail":"Not found"}` (no period) | **404 `text/html`** (Next.js page) |
| `/api/bogus` | — | — | 404 text/html |
| `/api/films/` | count 6 | count **7** | array of 6 |
| URLs inside bodies | `https://swapi.dev/api/films/1/` | `https://swapi.py4e.com/api/planets/1/` | `https://swapi.info/api/films/1` (no slash) |
| `?page=99`, `?page=abc` | 404 `{"detail":"Not found."}` | — | — |
| `?format=wookiee` | 200 with transliterated keys (`"whrascwo":"Lhuorwo Sorroohraanorworc"`) | — | — |

Notes:
- `swapi.dev` cache: responses carried `age: 36774` (hours-old CDN copies); `http://` → 301 https (CloudFront).
- `swapi.info` sends `cache-control: public, max-age=0, must-revalidate, no-store` yet returned `age: 159023`.
- The py4e fork has **different data** (87 people / 7 films vs 82 / 6) — a client that hard-codes one host's counts is wrong on the other.

Guard: pick a host explicitly and follow the `url` fields it returns (they point back to the same host); on `swapi.info` a miss is HTML, so check `Content-Type` before `json.loads`; on `swapi.info` implement search client-side.

How observed: 2026-09-30, curl `-D -` against the three hosts with the paths above; counts from `count` / `len(array)`.
