CheapShark vs Geek-Jokes
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.
Geek-Jokes is a small open-source Flask API, hosted on Railway, that returns a single random geeky or programming-themed joke per request. There's no authentication, rate-limit tier, or account required — call the endpoint and get a joke back as plain text or JSON.
