Creative Commons Catalog vs GitHub Contribution Chart Generator

Creative Commons's search catalog was handed off to WordPress.org and relaunched as Openverse; the old `api.creativecommons.engineering` host now 301-redirects to the current `api.openverse.org`. A live unauthenticated GET against `api.openverse.org/v1/images/` returned a 200 JSON result set with `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`, confirming keyless anonymous search still works today (rate-limited to 200 requests/day per IP), with an optional `/v1/auth_tokens/register/` OAuth2 client-registration endpoint (confirmed live, returning a 400 validation error rather than 404) for higher limits. The catalog itself and every indexed work are free to use under their respective open licenses.

This is a keyless JSON API (not an image-rendering service, despite the name) with a single route, `/api/v1/{username}`, that returns a GitHub user's daily/yearly contribution counts — confirmed by inspecting the project's own source tree, which contains only one API file (`src/pages/api/v1/[username].js`); the actual chart image is drawn client-side from that JSON by a separate canvas library. A live unauthenticated GET returned a 200 JSON payload with no `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header at all, correcting cors from "yes" to "no" (the header only appears on Vercel's default 404 page, not on the real route). Free and open-source, self-hostable on Vercel.
