CheapShark vs Final Fantasy XIV

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.

XIVAPI is a community-maintained search and data API covering Final Fantasy XIV's full game sheet data — items, actions, quests, achievements, and more — sourced from the client's own datamined tables. It now runs as XIVAPI v2, with the original xivapi.com endpoints redirecting to the new host and a migration guide for callers still on v1. No API key is required for reads, and the team asks production users to check in on Discord.
