CountryStateCity vs GeoJS: common questions

Which is more reliable, CountryStateCity or GeoJS?

Only GeoJS 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 CountryStateCity and GeoJS need an API key?

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

Can I call CountryStateCity and GeoJS from the browser?

Yes — both CountryStateCity and GeoJS send CORS headers over HTTPS, so front-end code can fetch either directly with no backend proxy. That makes them easy to swap in a client-side app while you compare responses.

Are CountryStateCity and GeoJS free for commercial use?

CountryStateCity has unclear commercial terms, and GeoJS 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.
