BaconMockup vs Spoonacular

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.

Spoonacular is a broad food platform covering recipe search, ingredient parsing, meal planning, grocery product data, and wine pairing, backed by a database of hundreds of thousands of recipes, with a limited daily point allowance on its free tier before usage-based paid plans apply. A live GET against the real gateway, api.spoonacular.com, returned a genuine 401 'not authorized' JSON error while carrying an echoed Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming API Key auth in the same probe.
