Open Brewery DB vs WhiskyHunter
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.
WhiskyHunter aggregates historical results from online whisky auctions — winning-bid averages, trading volume, and lot counts across dozens of auction houses over time — as a free, keyless, read-only statistics API. A live GET against the real gateway, whiskyhunter.net/api, returned genuine JSON with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> no; auth None was reconfirmed by the same keyless 200.
