Spoonacular vs Untappd

Spoonacular is a broad food platform covering recipe search, ingredient parsing, meal planning, grocery product data, and wine pairing, backed by a database of hundreds of thousands of recipes, with a limited daily point allowance on its free tier before usage-based paid plans apply. A live GET against the real gateway, api.spoonacular.com, returned a genuine 401 'not authorized' JSON error while carrying an echoed Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming API Key auth in the same probe.

Untappd's public API exposes its social beer check-in platform — beer and brewery details, user check-ins, and venue activity — for applications registered through its OAuth developer program, free and rate-limited to 100 calls/hour per key. A live GET against the real gateway, api.untappd.com, returned a genuine 'missing client_secret/client_id' JSON error while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming OAuth auth in the same probe.
