Same instrument, two spec sheets — measured, not claimed.
OneDrive vs ipify: common questions
Which is more reliable, OneDrive or ipify?
Only ipify 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 OneDrive and ipify need an API key?
ipify needs no key, while OneDrive requires a free API key. If you want to start calling without signup, reach for ipify first.
Can I call OneDrive and ipify from the browser?
Only ipify is browser-friendly — it returns CORS headers over HTTPS. OneDrive needs a server-side call or proxy, so factor that into which one fits a front-end project.
Are OneDrive and ipify free for commercial use?
OneDrive has unclear commercial terms, and ipify 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.
