HTTPS is, generally, free nowadays, thanks to Let's Encrypt and Cloudflare, for example
Chances are you will need a domain, though, and those, while cheap, are not free
How does CF factor into free SSL?
Route your site through CF and boom, done
Server to CF is still HTTP by default, but CF to client is proper SSL
And they offer free certs you can install on the server as well, so it's SSL all the way through
Cf offers cheap domains too
If you're looking for free hosting for your API for an amount of time.
There are numerous of them. Like Google Cloud Platform, Azure, AWS, and DigitalOcean are offering free usage within a certain hour/credit limit.
azure free hosting for web apps is pretty garbage, it's like an hour per day
