The Report of the Week vs Untappd
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.
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.
