Just because the thing you want isn't feasible doesn't mean people don't want it. (Example: bullshit diet fads. There's no healthy way to drop fifty pounds in 30 days, but people still google for it, and then try it.)

And regardless of whether it actually works or not, I think it demonstrates a familiarity with multiple skills necessary for web development - working with APIs, hosting a site without it coming crashing down, writing HTML, etc., etc., etc.
