The Colony vs Disify: common questions

Which is more reliable, The Colony or Disify?

Only Disify 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 The Colony and Disify need an API key?

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

Can I call The Colony and Disify from the browser?

Only Disify is browser-friendly — it returns CORS headers over HTTPS. The Colony needs a server-side call or proxy, so factor that into which one fits a front-end project.

Are The Colony and Disify free for commercial use?

The Colony has unclear commercial terms, and Disify 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.
