PlaceDog vs HTTP Dog: common questions

Which is more reliable, PlaceDog or HTTP Dog?

Only HTTP Dog 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 PlaceDog and HTTP Dog need an API key?

Neither needs a paid key — PlaceDog is callable with no signup, and HTTP Dog is callable with no signup. Both are quick to prototype with; rate limits still apply.

Can I call PlaceDog and HTTP Dog from the browser?

Neither sends browser-friendly CORS headers reliably, so call PlaceDog and HTTP Dog from a server or proxy rather than client-side. The CORS and HTTPS rows above show exactly what we detected for each.

Are PlaceDog and HTTP Dog free for commercial use?

PlaceDog has unclear commercial terms, and HTTP Dog 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.
