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.
