Bitbucket vs ipify: common questions

Which is more reliable, Bitbucket or ipify?

Only ipify is on our probe schedule so far (—% uptime over 90 days). The other is catalogued but not yet live-checked, so we can't compare measured reliability head-to-head — check the uncovered API's own status page for now.

Do Bitbucket and ipify need an API key?

ipify needs no key, while Bitbucket requires a free API key. If you want to start calling without signup, reach for ipify first.

Can I call Bitbucket and ipify from the browser?

Only ipify is browser-friendly — it returns CORS headers over HTTPS. Bitbucket needs a server-side call or proxy, so factor that into which one fits a front-end project.

Are Bitbucket and ipify free for commercial use?

Bitbucket has unclear commercial terms, and ipify allows commercial use on its free tier. We track service terms and the data license as separate fields — see the Commercial use and Data license rows above, and confirm both before shipping either in a paid product.
