Scoop.it
Scoop.it's developer API lets registered applications create and manage curated topic pages, publish content items with tags and metadata, and read curation data programmatically, the same building blocks behind Scoop.it's own content-curation product. Requests are signed with OAuth (a deprecated 1.0a flow alongside current OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens), not a static API key. The underlying platform offers a free account tier alongside paid Pro/Business plans, and the API is available to any registered app regardless of tier.

HTTPSSupportedTraffic is encrypted in transit.
CORSDisabledBrowser calls need a server-side proxy.
PricingFreemiumA usable free tier exists, with paid plans for more volume.
