EmojiHub vs Metropolitan Museum of Art

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.

The Met's Collection API exposes all 502,000+ objects in its Open Access collection — the same data behind its own site — fully keyless and free, asking only that callers self-throttle to 80 requests per second. A live GET against the real gateway, collectionapi.metmuseum.org, returned genuine object data carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, correcting cors no -> yes while reconfirming auth None.
