Coffee vs WhiskyHunter

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.

WhiskyHunter aggregates historical results from online whisky auctions — winning-bid averages, trading volume, and lot counts across dozens of auction houses over time — as a free, keyless, read-only statistics API. A live GET against the real gateway, whiskyhunter.net/api, returned genuine JSON with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> no; auth None was reconfirmed by the same keyless 200.
