Onyx Bazaar vs Wikipedia
Onyx Bazaar is a public leaderboard of x402 pay-per-call HTTP services on Base, Solana, and other chains, refreshed every 15 minutes from Coinbase's CDP discovery API. It ranks listed endpoints by call volume, unique payers, price, and recency, with views for cheapest, newest, and highest-quality services. A keyless JSON endpoint (/bazaar.json) mirrors the same leaderboard data shown on the page for agents that want to query it directly.
The MediaWiki action API that powers Wikipedia gives keyless access to full-text search, page content/extracts, revision history, and category membership across every language edition. A live probe of en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php confirms open, keyless reads and resolves the CORS story: browsers must append the documented `origin=*` query parameter (a plain Origin header alone is rejected as a "mismatch"), after which the response carries a wildcard Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
