CheapShark vs FFXIV Collect
CheapShark's keyless JSON API aggregates PC game deals across roughly three dozen storefronts (Steam, GOG, Epic, Humble Store, and more), returning live and historical-low prices, percentage savings, and Metacritic scores per deal. Separate /games and /stores endpoints support price-history lookups by title or Steam AppID; live testing confirmed open CORS and no documented rate limit or paid tier.
FFXIV Collect is a community-run reference for Final Fantasy XIV's collectable content — mounts, minions, achievements, orchestrion rolls, and more — cross-referenced with each character's owned/missing status and rarity percentage. Its read-only REST API mirrors the site's own data, including per-character collection lookups by Lodestone ID. No key is required, and the full endpoint list is published as a Postman collection.
