Mojang
Mojang Studios' account API covers username/UUID lookup, profile and skin data, and account management, spread across api.mojang.com, sessionserver.mojang.com, and the newer api.minecraftservices.com. Read-only lookups (e.g. /users/profiles/minecraft/<name>, both confirmed live and keyless) need no authentication at all, while anything account-modifying requires a Microsoft/Xbox Live OAuth bearer token — there's no simple API-key tier, correcting the stored auth field — and live checks show no CORS headers on the public endpoints.

- Send it as an Authorization header
Authorization: Bearer <token>
