Coffee vs Open Food Facts
Coffee returns a fresh random coffee-photo URL as JSON on every request from a hand-curated image set, with no signup needed — a lightweight novelty API for placeholder or demo imagery. A live GET against the real host, coffee.alexflipnote.dev, returned genuine JSON with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> no; auth None was reconfirmed by the same keyless 200.
Open Food Facts is a crowdsourced, open database of food products worldwide, covering ingredients, nutrition facts, allergens, and Nutri-Score/Eco-Score ratings, with full bulk exports available alongside the live API. A live GET against the real gateway, world.openfoodfacts.org, returned a genuine product record while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving cors unknown -> yes; auth None was reconfirmed by the same keyless 200.
