Dictum vs Stoicism Quote

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.

Stoicism Quote is a small serverless API (AWS Lambda + API Gateway) returning a single random Stoic quote and author as JSON, documented in its GitHub repo as running at the live host stoic.tekloon.net. A live GET against that real gateway, stoic.tekloon.net/stoic-quote, returned a genuine quote with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> no; no key was required, reconfirming auth None. A fully free, keyless hobby API — pricingModel free.
