Path of Exile
Grinding Gear Games' Path of Exile API moved from a simple public-endpoint model to full OAuth 2.1 for its Developer API, covering characters, stashes, leagues, PvP matches, and guilds for Path of Exile 1, plus a Build Planner endpoint shared with Path of Exile 2. Access is free but strictly policy rate-limited with published X-Rate-Limit headers, and repeated violations can get an app's access revoked outright.

- Send it as an Authorization header
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
Developer reference
Dynamic per-endpoint policy communicated via X-Rate-Limit-* response headers; docs give a worked example, X-Rate-Limit-Client: 10:5:10, meaning 10 requests per 5-second window with a 10-second penalty if exceeded
