Summary of Changes

Hello @noahpodgurski, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refactors the "Public Api" applet to change its underlying data source and random selection mechanism. Previously, it relied on a dynamic endpoint for random APIs. Now, it fetches a comprehensive list of public APIs from a GitHub repository and performs local random selection, improving control over the data source and reducing the frequency of external API calls by increasing the refresh time.

Highlights

• API Data Source Change: The applet now fetches its list of public APIs from a static JSON file hosted on GitHub (marcelscruz/public-apis) instead of using the dynamic api.publicapis.org/random endpoint.
• Local Random Selection: Instead of relying on the external API to provide a random entry, the applet now fetches all available APIs and selects one randomly using random.seed and random.number.
• Increased Refresh Time: The data refresh interval has been significantly extended from 60 seconds to one week (86400*7 seconds), reducing the frequency of external requests for the API list.

Code Review

This pull request refactors the publicapi applet to fetch a list of APIs from a JSON file hosted on GitHub, rather than using the /random endpoint from api.publicapis.org. This is a good change that likely improves reliability. The applet now performs the random selection locally and caches the full list for one week, which is efficient. I've added one comment regarding error handling to make the applet more robust against potential changes in the API response format. Additionally, please note that apps/publicapi/manifest.yaml still contains the old API description in its desc field. It would be good to update it in this PR to maintain consistency.
