Coinlore needs no key, while Coinlayer requires a free API key. If you want to start calling without signup, reach for Coinlore first.
Can I call Coinlayer and Coinlore from the browser?

Are Coinlayer and Coinlore free for commercial use?
Coinlayer 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.
