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