Description
I kept rewriting the same JSON normalization glue for every side project. Weather APIs return different field names, crypto APIs have inconsistent structures, news APIs format dates differently — and you end up writing adapters for all of it before you can even start building.Sprime is a unified API gateway that sits in front of 15+ data providers and returns everything in the same JSON shape, every time.One API key, consistent responses, automatic provider failover if something goes down.Endpoints live now: weather, crypto, news, forex, air quality, geocode, IP lookup, timezone, holidays, webhooks.Free tier is 500 req/day. Would love feedback from the HN crowd on pricing, missing endpoints, or anything that seems off.

Could you build this?
Partial Normalizing third-party APIs is straightforward, but the product also involves cryptographic verifiable credentials (PROOFGATE, SD-JWT VC, mdoc) with privacy-preserving zero-PII checks.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an API gateway (Node/Go) that proxies disparate upstream data sources and normalizes schemas, combined with a W3C Verifiable Credentials / OpenID4VP verification engine. The hard component is the cryptographic implementation of SD-JWT (Selective Disclosure JWT) and ISO 18013-5 mdoc verification, including issuer trust pinning, zero-knowledge/predicate evaluation, and replay-resistant nonce tracking. This requires specialized cryptographic identity standards engineering.
