Fruityvice vs RecipeAPI

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.

RecipeAPI.io searches recipes and returns parsed ingredient lists, estimated nutrition, and step-by-step cooking instructions, offered as a metered SaaS with a 500-request/month free tier before paid plans apply. A live GET against the real gateway, recipeapi.io/api/v1/recipes, returned a genuine 401 'Invalid or missing API key' JSON error while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both cors yes and API Key auth in the same probe.
