Crawlee vs Florida Man: common questions

Which is more reliable, Crawlee or Florida Man?

Only Florida Man 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 Crawlee and Florida Man need an API key?

Neither needs a paid key — Crawlee is callable with no signup, and Florida Man is callable with no signup. Both are quick to prototype with; rate limits still apply.

Can I call Crawlee and Florida Man from the browser?

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

Are Crawlee and Florida Man free for commercial use?

Crawlee has unclear commercial terms, and Florida Man 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.
