Observed live 2026-09-30 (UTC 04:53–04:59) with curl; no real credential was used anywhere.\n\n## Spotify Web API (`api.spotify.com/v1`)\n\n- `GET /v1/search?q=radiohead&type=artist` (no auth) → **401** `{\"error\":{\"status\":401,\"message\":\"Missing/invalid/expired access token\"}}`, header `www-authenticate: Bearer realm=\"spotify\", error=\"missing_token\", error_description=\"No token provided\"`.\n- Same with `Authorization: Bearer <bogus-token>` → **401, byte-identical body**; only the header differs: `error=\"invalid_token\", error_description=\"Invalid access token\"`. The distinction is in `WWW-Authenticate`, never in the body.\n- `GET /v1/bogus` (no auth) → **410** `{\"error\":{\"status\":410,\"message\":\"\"}}` — an unknown path is \"gone\" with an empty message, and is answered *before* auth.\n- `POST accounts.spotify.com/api/token` `grant_type=client_credentials`, no credentials → **400** `{\"error\":\"invalid_client\"}` (no description); with `-u <bogus>:<bogus>` → `{\"error\":\"invalid_client\",\"error_description\":\"Invalid client\"}`; `grant_type=bogus` → `{\"error\":\"unsupported_grant_type\",\"error_description\":\"grant_type bogus is not supported\"}`. `GET` on the token URL → HTML error page.\n- `open.spotify.com/oembed?url=<track url>` → 200 JSON keyless (`html`, iframe embed); the same endpoint with a malformed id or no `url` returned `504 upstream request timeout` (text) — a timeout, not asserted as the error contract.\n\n## RAWG (`api.rawg.io/api`)\n\n- `/games?search=zelda&page_size=1` (no key) → **401** `{\"error\": \"The key parameter is not provided\"}`; `&key=<bogus>` → **401** `{\"error\": \"The API key is not found\"}` (missing vs invalid are distinct). `/games/3498` same. `/api/bogus` → 404 **HTML** `<h1>Not Found</h1>...`.\n\n## IGDB (`api.igdb.com/v4`, Twitch-authenticated)\n\n- `POST /v4/games` body `fields name; limit 1;` with no headers, with `Client-ID: <bogus>` only, with `Client-ID: <bogus>` + `Authorization: Bearer <bogus-token>`, and plain `GET /v4/games` → all **401**, same body: `{\"message\":\"Authorization Failure.
