SonarQube
The Sonar Web API, browsable at `sonarcloud.io/web_api`, drives code-quality and security analysis results — projects, issues, quality gates, and measures — for what Sonar rebranded in 2024 from SonarCloud to SonarQube Cloud (with the self-hosted product renamed SonarQube Server). It authenticates with a personal token sent as a Bearer credential or as the username in HTTP Basic auth, not OAuth. Public and open-source projects get free unlimited analysis; private projects are free up to 50k lines of code before paid Team and Enterprise plans apply.

- Get a key at the provider
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
Developer reference
~1,000 requests/minute per user (informal vendor guidance from SonarCloud's own community forum, not officially documented in the API reference; same limit applies to free and paid users)
