LAPIS vs Makeup

LAPIS is the open, keyless REST API behind covSPECTRUM, serving aggregated counts, sequence details, and mutation queries over SARS-CoV-2 genomic data drawn from public sources like GenBank and Nextstrain, documented via an OpenAPI v2 endpoint at lapis.cov-spectrum.org. The frontend's old ETH Zurich domain, cov-spectrum.ethz.ch, now 301-redirects permanently to cov-spectrum.org — 'url' corrected to the live domain. A live GET against lapis.cov-spectrum.org/open/v2/ returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming the stored 'yes' cors.

Makeup API is a free, keyless single-endpoint REST service serving a static catalogue of cosmetics products — lipsticks, foundations, eyeshadows, and more — searchable by brand, product type, category, tag, price, and rating, with per-product image and retailer links. Still live on Heroku with no auth, no published rate limit, and no formal SLA; it's a hobby open-data project rather than a maintained commercial API. A live GET against makeup-api.herokuapp.com/api/v1/products.json succeeds over both http and https with no key, and returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * — resolving the stored 'unknown' cors to 'yes' and the stored 'https: false' to 'true'.
