Blockchain vs Coinlore: common questions
Which is more reliable, Blockchain or Coinlore?
Only Coinlore 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 Blockchain and Coinlore need an API key?
Coinlore needs no key, while Blockchain requires a free API key. If you want to start calling without signup, reach for Coinlore first.
Can I call Blockchain and Coinlore from the browser?
Only Coinlore is browser-friendly — it returns CORS headers over HTTPS. Blockchain needs a server-side call or proxy, so factor that into which one fits a front-end project.
Are Blockchain and Coinlore free for commercial use?
Blockchain has unclear commercial terms, and Coinlore has unclear commercial terms. 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.
