RandomUser: common questions

Is RandomUser free to use?

Yes — RandomUser is a free developer tools API. Free tier: Free — no key or signup. Whether the free tier allows commercial use is unclear — check the provider docs.

Does RandomUser need an API key?

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 You can call it straight away; rate limits still apply (Unpublished).

Can I call RandomUser from the browser?

Yes — RandomUser 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.

Is RandomUser up right now?

RandomUser 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.
