EmojiHub vs Icon Horse
EmojiHub serves a database of 1,791 emoji sorted into categories and groups as plain JSON, with both the unicode character and an HTML code ready to embed for each entry. A live GET against the current gateway, emojihub.yurace.pro (the community-maintained successor to the original Heroku-hosted host named in its docs), returned genuine data with no key required and Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both auth None and cors yes.
Icon Horse fetches the favicon for any given domain — trying the site's own icon first and falling back through a chain of alternate sources so a usable image is returned almost every time — with no signup. A live GET against the real host returned a genuine PNG carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both auth None and cors yes.
