API endpoints of now discontinued Curiosity Android App.

Curiosity Daily API

The reverse engineered API endpoints of the official Curiosity Android App, which was discontinued in 2020 since Discovery bought them and fucked it up.

This app offerred some real educational facts, on the daily, with their sources. They bought it and replaced it with a shitty podcast. Why is discovery ruining actual, educational content? Corporate envy and greed? No idea.

Endpoints

The apk version used for decompiling was v3.21.6, the last known update to the app.

The URIs are categorised by the HTTP methods that can be (or used to be) utilized on them.
