Word Cloud
Word Cloud API renders a list of weighted words into a downloadable word-cloud image. Its original standalone gateway at wordcloudapi.com has been decommissioned — that CloudFront distribution now only serves static docs and rejects every API call with a 403 — so the API is reachable solely through the RapidAPI marketplace today. A live GET against the real RapidAPI proxy host, word-cloud.p.rapidapi.com, echoed Access-Control-Allow-Origin back for an arbitrary Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> yes; access still requires a registered API key, now issued through RapidAPI.
