Edamam nutrition vs Fruityvice
Edamam's Nutrition Analysis API parses a free-text ingredient line and returns calories, macro/micronutrients, and diet and health labels for that food or recipe, aimed at meal-tracking apps. A live GET against the real gateway, api.edamam.com, returned a genuine 401 'Unauthorized app_id' JSON error while carrying an echoed Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming API Key auth (an app ID and key pair) in the same probe.
Fruityvice returns per-fruit nutrition data — calories, sugar, carbohydrates, and protein — searchable by name, family, order, or genus, as a small free reference dataset. A live GET against the real host, www.fruityvice.com, returned genuine JSON with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> no; auth None was reconfirmed by the same keyless 200.
