Bootprint: common questions

Is Bootprint free to use?

Yes — Bootprint is a free science & space API. Free tier: Free — limits not published. Whether the free tier allows commercial use is unclear — check the provider docs.

Does Bootprint need an API key?

No — Bootprint needs no API key or signup. You can call it straight away; rate limits still apply (Unpublished).

Can I call Bootprint from the browser?

Not directly — Bootprint doesn't send browser-friendly CORS headers, so call it from a server or proxy instead. Copy the curl or Python snippet on this page to get started.

Is Bootprint up right now?

Bootprint is catalogued but not yet on our probe schedule, so we don't publish a live status for it. Check the provider's own status page or docs for its current state.
