Dictum vs Personality.fyi

Dictum was a small quotes API whose GitHub README now states the project migrated to quoterism.com, a still-actively-run quotes-and-authors API with author images. A live GET against the real gateway, www.quoterism.com/api/quotes/random, returned a genuine 401 "API key required" JSON error with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> no and correcting auth None -> API Key in the same probe; a docsUrl was added for the live quoterism.com/developer page (found via the GitHub README's migration notice), distinct from the archived GitHub repo kept as url. The developer page asks only for optional donations to "keep the API free and running," with no paid tier found — pricingModel free.

Personality.fyi is a small, static-data JSON API for the 16 MBTI types and the OEJTS personality test's items and scoring, explicitly marketed as "Free · No auth · No LLM." A live GET against the real gateway, personality.fyi/api/v1/types, returned a genuine list of the 16 MBTI types while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both cors yes and auth None — no base-field corrections were needed. CC0 public-domain data with no paid tier — pricingModel free.
