SWAPI: common questions

Is SWAPI free to use?

Yes — SWAPI is a free media API. Free tier: Free — limits not published. Whether the free tier allows commercial use is unclear — check the provider docs.

Does SWAPI need an API key?

No — SWAPI needs no API key or signup. You can call it straight away; rate limits still apply (100 req/window · 99 remaining · resets 1783512035).

Can I call SWAPI from the browser?

Yes — SWAPI 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 SWAPI up right now?

As of our last scheduled check, SWAPI is unmonitored. We re-probe it every sweep — the status badge and uptime chart above always show the latest.
