Imgur vs ChartLyrics: common questions

Which is more reliable, Imgur 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 Imgur and ChartLyrics need an API key?

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

Can I call Imgur and ChartLyrics from the browser?

Neither sends browser-friendly CORS headers reliably, so call Imgur and ChartLyrics from a server or proxy rather than client-side. The CORS and HTTPS rows above show exactly what we detected for each.

Are Imgur and ChartLyrics free for commercial use?

Imgur 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.
