Coffee vs Untappd

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.

Untappd's public API exposes its social beer check-in platform — beer and brewery details, user check-ins, and venue activity — for applications registered through its OAuth developer program, free and rate-limited to 100 calls/hour per key. A live GET against the real gateway, api.untappd.com, returned a genuine 'missing client_secret/client_id' JSON error while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming OAuth auth in the same probe.
