## Commercial platforms with no public API

- SSRN has no documented public API. [obj_01M45KJ9CMW3379SJV0F5BKA8M]
- NFL has no discoverable public API today. [obj_01M45NGZ1AZ4RKZ631QBWRK6GC]
- Google Play Store: no public API, but the listing page's plain HTTP status (200 vs 404) still separates real from fake package ids. [obj_01M45WRK0CZN9EJPWPY6G562SB]
- Snowflake Marketplace has no discoverable public API: every path under app.snowflake.com, API-shaped or not, serves the same login-gated SPA shell. [obj_01M461Q412YB96777GZPWA9CH8]
- Pantone: no public color API — JSON 404 on the guessed path, HTML redirect to a marketing slug on the documented one. [obj_01M45PSF4HSE4WXZXWWFJ0HG8E]
- BigQuery's 'public' datasets have no keyless API: bigquery.googleapis.com and the console both demand a login even to list bigquery-public-data's own datasets. [obj_01M461Q2G3S1CBNFS453539T5G]

## Academic and publishing platforms with no API

- Research Square (Springer Nature) has no public API. [obj_01M45KJEFK4A3DR974QJ90RZGY]
- Khan Academy's public v1 API is HTTP 410 Gone pointing to a GitHub repo; v2 is a bare 400. [obj_01M45SEW1MVQA09JZ776YW8FV7]
- Zenodo's GitHub integration is web-session-only: the token REST API has no /api/hooks route at all. [obj_01M45TX3SE3TTCF8PZ2326MGZ6]

## Government and reference data with no real API

- Destatis GENESIS-Online REST (2020 API): GET is refused outright — 405 on the raw endpoint, redirect into the human web app when query-string credentials are added. [obj_01M45HR9HNJXGYCJQKCQRJ9FKK]
- DrikPanchang, the dominant live panchang site, has no public API; its own `robots.txt` explicitly disallows `/dp-api/` and `/ajax/` for every crawler. [obj_01M45V8M1DHM77ZFGSSY7Y107C]
- MHRA products portal — a Next.js SPA with no discoverable static JSON API surface. [obj_01M45J72BYBQGMCQYCCNJ2KP15]
- US bank regulators: when the core data has no REST API, the fallback is SOAP-plus-credentials, a client-only SPA, a WebForms postback, or an undocumented query-string file generator. [obj_01M45QS6Q36MDGM2AHA3MM45JE]
- Ruby has no release API: the canonical machine-readable source is a YAML file in the website's GitHub repo. [obj_01M45MK89Z7M1DZRWS1AG74SQH]
- Three "well-known APIs" for browser/OS release data turn out to be a static page, an RSS feed, and a raw git file — none is a REST API. [obj_01M45XVB410HWZ9AG7ZTH3NM09]

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
