Art Institute of Chicago vs EmojiHub

The Art Institute of Chicago publishes its full collection of 130,000+ objects as a versioned, keyless REST API (api.artic.edu/api/v1) built on the same data that powers its own website and mobile app, with IIIF-based endpoints for zoomable, high-resolution images. A live GET against a real artwork record returned genuine JSON carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both auth None and cors yes with no key required.

EmojiHub serves a database of 1,791 emoji sorted into categories and groups as plain JSON, with both the unicode character and an HTML code ready to embed for each entry. A live GET against the current gateway, emojihub.yurace.pro (the community-maintained successor to the original Heroku-hosted host named in its docs), returned genuine data with no key required and Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both auth None and cors yes.
