Eve Online vs PotterDB: common questions

Which is more reliable, Eve Online or PotterDB?

Only PotterDB 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 Eve Online and PotterDB need an API key?

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

Can I call Eve Online and PotterDB from the browser?

Yes — both Eve Online and PotterDB 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 Eve Online and PotterDB free for commercial use?

Eve Online has unclear commercial terms, and PotterDB 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.
