Is Nationalize.io free to use?

Yes — Nationalize.io is a free developer tools API. Free tier: Keyless usage limited (x-rate-limit-limit: 25 observed); 2,500 names/mo with a free key. Whether the free tier allows commercial use is unclear — check the provider docs.

Can I call Nationalize.io from the browser?

Yes — Nationalize.io returns CORS headers over HTTPS, so front-end code can fetch it directly with no backend proxy. Use the fetch snippet on this page, or hit "Run live" to try it now.
