Untappd vs WhiskyHunter

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.

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.
