OpenSea vs Coinlore: common questions

Which is more reliable, OpenSea or Coinlore?

Only Coinlore 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 OpenSea and Coinlore need an API key?

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

Can I call OpenSea and Coinlore from the browser?

Yes — both OpenSea and Coinlore 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 OpenSea and Coinlore free for commercial use?

OpenSea has unclear commercial terms, and Coinlore 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.
