Episodate vs ChartLyrics: common questions

Which is more reliable, Episodate or ChartLyrics?

Only ChartLyrics 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 Episodate and ChartLyrics need an API key?

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

Can I call Episodate and ChartLyrics from the browser?

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

Are Episodate and ChartLyrics free for commercial use?

Episodate has unclear commercial terms, and ChartLyrics 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.
