Hello, everyone!

Today I really wanted to deploy an API with Vercel, but I can't because I don't give out my phone number, even for verification purposes. I looked all over the place, but couldn't really tell if it is possible to deploy a functional Node.js API with GitHub. I have a GitHub site set up at:
https://the-best-codes.github.io/
But is there a way I can make free APIs for it (preferably on GitHub or somewhere free)?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @The-Best-Codes
If your API is serves static content (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), you can deploy it using gh pages. Because GitHub Pages is supports only static sites, and it will not support server-side code.

The best options are Vercel or Heroku..

Thanks for your answer! I have tried Vercel and Heroku, but both require a phone or payment options. I'm looking for something free and less personal (but hopefully still unlimited?). Do you have any recommendations? Thanks again!

[Kiran1689]

Yeah, Heroku needs payment option.
Try vercel only it's free and use sign-up using GitHub instead email if you don't want to provide your number..
Once check it ..

I did sign up with GitHub and it still wanted my phone number. 😕

Are there any other free alternatives? Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your support, everyone. I went ahead and gave Vercel my phone number. Vercel has been working awesome for me since then!
