API Mashup is an App Wing event where you build something unforgettable.
You'll be given a fixed set of quirky, completely unrelated APIs and exactly 2.5 hours to combine them into one single-screen mobile app (Android or iOS) that is creative, hilarious, and surprisingly functional.
The twist? The APIs don't go together. That's the point. Your job is to make them feel like they were meant to be together.
- Build a single-screen mobile app (Android or iOS) in 2.5 hours
- Integrate 3–4 APIs from the provided list
- Display their data together in a creative or entertaining way
- The combo should feel clever, not forced
Please follow these steps carefully to ensure your project is evaluated:
- Fork this repository.
- Clone your forked repository to your local machine.
- Create a new directory named after your team.
- Initialize your project within this directory (Android Studio or Xcode project).
- Showcase Video: Record a 1–2 minute screen recording demonstrating your working project. Highlight the specific APIs and UI components you implemented.
- Attach Builds: Include the link of downloadable APK file for Android and a zipped project file for Swift (Xcode) in the README.
- Commit & Push: Add your project files, App screenshots and the showcase video (
.mp4or a hosted link in your project's README) to your directory. - Open a Pull Request (PR) to this main repository before the 2.5-hour deadline.

| Number of Features | How many meaningful interactions and features did you build? |
| Cohesion | Do the APIs feel naturally connected, or does it feel like a forced mashup? |
| Code Quality | Clean, structured code — use of loggers, a repository pattern, smart list updates, a dedicated API client, etc. |
- Using a Repository pattern to centralize all API calls (no cluttered
Activity.ktorViewController.swift) - DiffUtil (Android) or DiffableDataSource / Native SwiftUI Lists (iOS) for smooth list updates
- Proper logging throughout the app
- Error handling and elegant loading states
- Smooth and polished UI despite the chaos
