arcsecond.io vs isEven (humor)
Arcsecond.io is the cloud API behind Arcsecond.local, a multi-user platform observatories run to manage telescopes, night logs, and data packages, but it still exposes the project's original public astronomy-lookup endpoints for object coordinates and exoplanets. Those endpoints are keyless and return live-synced records — /exoplanets/ pulls current rows from the NASA Exoplanet Archive. Paid tiers apply only to running a private observatory instance; the public data-lookup endpoints stay free.
isEven is a parody of the infamous is-even npm-package controversy, wrapped as a keyless REST endpoint that answers whether a given number is even. The free tier's JSON response bundles in a joke classified ad alongside the boolean result; a paid Premium/Enterprise tier removes the ads.
