Which is more reliable, Screenshotlayer or ChartLyrics?

Only ChartLyrics 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 Screenshotlayer and ChartLyrics need an API key?

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

Can I call Screenshotlayer and ChartLyrics from the browser?

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

Are Screenshotlayer and ChartLyrics free for commercial use?

Screenshotlayer has unclear commercial terms, and ChartLyrics 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.
