Open Brewery DB vs The Report of the Week
Open Brewery DB is an open, keyless directory of breweries, cideries, and bottle shops across the US and several other countries, searchable by name, city, state, or brewery type. A live GET against the real gateway, api.openbrewerydb.org, returned genuine JSON while carrying an echoed Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, reconfirming both cors yes and auth None in the same probe.
The Report of the Week API exposes the full review dataset behind the YouTube food-review channel of the same name — product, manufacturer, category, and rating for thousands of reviewed snacks and drinks — as a small, free, keyless dataset service. A live GET against the real gateway, thereportoftheweekapi.com/api/v1/reports, returned genuine JSON with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> no; auth None was reconfirmed by the same keyless 200, and a live docsUrl was added for its Swagger UI, distinct from the GitHub readme kept as url.
