What are some really good APIs which can go well with personal projects?

I think one of the big issues when learning to program is the absolut lack of data and for most semi-useful tools you need at least some of. Do you know of any cool websites that provide real world data / lots of data that can be easily accessed with an API (JSON) call?
Collection of free public APIs that No auth required.
The public-apis list is an awesome resource for developers. The only problem is that many of the APIs have become dead links over time. So I built a side project that takes that list and monitors API status daily, so you can see which ones are actually usable.
860+ APIs that no auth required.
Reliability is monitored daily.

The best free REST API I have come across is from the National Weather Service. I am, however, tired of playing with the weather. I am not looking for anything in specific, just something other than weather. I know there is https://www.data.gov , but there doesn't appear to be any good, up-to-date data available. It is entirely possible I am using those APIs incorrectly. So, please, would you mind passing along some good REST APIs for me to "play" with?
Thanks!
EDIT: I also use the APoD REST API, but that's getting a little old too.
