My IP API vs Florida Man: common questions

Which is more reliable, My IP API or Florida Man?

Only Florida Man 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 My IP API and Florida Man need an API key?

Neither needs a paid key — My IP API is callable with no signup, and Florida Man is callable with no signup. Both are quick to prototype with; rate limits still apply.

Can I call My IP API and Florida Man from the browser?

Yes — both My IP API and Florida Man 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 My IP API and Florida Man free for commercial use?

My IP API has unclear commercial terms, and Florida Man 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.
