Covid Tracking Project vs Makeup

Covid Tracking Project

The COVID Tracking Project's public archive API, serving the US state- and national-level testing, hospitalization, and case/death time series the volunteer project compiled through early 2021. Data collection officially ended 2021-03-07 and the project shut down, but the JSON (v1/v2) and CSV endpoints continue to serve that final historical dataset unchanged since a 2021-06-01 build. A live GET against api.covidtracking.com returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, correcting the stored 'no' cors to 'yes'.

Makeup

Makeup API is a free, keyless single-endpoint REST service serving a static catalogue of cosmetics products — lipsticks, foundations, eyeshadows, and more — searchable by brand, product type, category, tag, price, and rating, with per-product image and retailer links. Still live on Heroku with no auth, no published rate limit, and no formal SLA; it's a hobby open-data project rather than a maintained commercial API. A live GET against makeup-api.herokuapp.com/api/v1/products.json succeeds over both http and https with no key, and returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * — resolving the stored 'unknown' cors to 'yes' and the stored 'https: false' to 'true'.
