RAWG.io vs PotterDB: common questions

Which is more reliable, RAWG.io or PotterDB?

Only PotterDB 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.

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

Can I call RAWG.io and PotterDB from the browser?

Yes — both RAWG.io and PotterDB 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 RAWG.io and PotterDB free for commercial use?

RAWG.io has unclear commercial terms, and PotterDB 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.
