BaconMockup vs Open Brewery DB
BaconMockup generates resizable JPEG placeholder images of bacon (and other meats) sized via URL path segments like /300/200, aimed at web-design mockups that want food-themed filler art instead of generic gray boxes. A live GET against the real host, baconmockup.com, returned a genuine JPEG with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header on either a plain GET or an OPTIONS preflight, resolving cors yes -> no; no key is required, reconfirming auth None.
Open Brewery DB is an open, keyless directory of breweries, cideries, and bottle shops across the US and several other countries, searchable by name, city, state, or brewery type. A live GET against the real gateway, api.openbrewerydb.org, returned genuine JSON while carrying an echoed Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, reconfirming both cors yes and auth None in the same probe.
