Fruityvice vs Spoonacular

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.

Spoonacular is a broad food platform covering recipe search, ingredient parsing, meal planning, grocery product data, and wine pairing, backed by a database of hundreds of thousands of recipes, with a limited daily point allowance on its free tier before usage-based paid plans apply. A live GET against the real gateway, api.spoonacular.com, returned a genuine 401 'not authorized' JSON error while carrying an echoed Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming API Key auth in the same probe.
