ipapi.com vs GeoJS: common questions

Which is more reliable, ipapi.com or GeoJS?

Only GeoJS 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 ipapi.com and GeoJS need an API key?

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

Can I call ipapi.com and GeoJS from the browser?

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

Are ipapi.com and GeoJS free for commercial use?

ipapi.com has unclear commercial terms, and GeoJS 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.
