Pantry vs The Null Pointer

Pantry

Pantry is a free JSON storage service for small projects and prototypes: each Pantry is a namespaced bucket identified by an ID in the URL path, holding arbitrary JSON "baskets" read and written over a plain REST API. A live GET and OPTIONS preflight with an Origin header against the real host, getpantry.cloud/apiv1/pantry/, both returned Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming cors as yes; no API key is required (the Pantry ID itself is the access credential), and HTTPS was reconfirmed. The service is entirely free with no paid tier.

The Null Pointer

The Null Pointer (0x0.st) is a minimalist, no-account temporary file host and URL shortener: a plain POST with a file returns a bare URL as the entire response body, with retention scaled by file size. A live OPTIONS preflight with an Origin header against the real host, 0x0.st, returned a 200 with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors from unknown to no; no auth is required for uploads, and HTTPS was reconfirmed. It's a single free, ad-free service with no paid tier, retaining files from 30 days up to 1 year depending on size (max 512MiB).
