WooCommerce
WooCommerce's REST API isn't a centrally hosted service — every self-hosted WooCommerce store exposes its own instance, authenticated by a consumer key/secret pair sent as HTTP Basic Auth credentials over HTTPS, per WooCommerce's own documentation. Because CORS support depends entirely on each merchant's own server configuration rather than the protocol itself, it can't be verified as a single blanket property of "the API." The protocol ships free with the open-source plugin; the only cost is whatever the merchant already pays to host their own store.

- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- 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.
Stored keyNo key stored
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
