Iconfinder
Iconfinder's API searches and returns metadata and download links for its marketplace of free and premium icon sets, gated by a free registered API key with paid plans for higher volume or commercial redistribution. Its developer.iconfinder.com docs page is Cloudflare-challenged from this sandbox, but a live GET against the real gateway, api.iconfinder.com/v4/icons/search, returned a genuine 401 while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming API Key auth.
