OpenPhoto (now Trovebox) is an open source project [1] with an API you can use without authentication.
Something which might be helpful to teach your child is that the API endpoint has a corresponding HTML (visual) representation.
For example, the web page at https://current.trovebox.com/photos/list https://current.trovebox.com/photos/list can be viewed in JSON format at https://current.trovebox.com/photos/list.json https://current.trovebox.com/photos/list.json. The response is standard across all APIs [2] and the API itself is well documented[3].
This applies to most pages and we blogged about how we did that for easy discoverability[4].
