Only LocalGov.jp 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.

LocalGov.jp needs no key, while FastDOL requires a free API key. If you want to start calling without signup, reach for LocalGov.jp first.
Can I call FastDOL and LocalGov.jp from the browser?
Only LocalGov.jp is browser-friendly — it returns CORS headers over HTTPS. FastDOL needs a server-side call or proxy, so factor that into which one fits a front-end project.
Are FastDOL and LocalGov.jp free for commercial use?
FastDOL has unclear commercial terms, and LocalGov.jp 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.
