Traveller Map vs PokéAPI: common questions

Which is more reliable, Traveller Map or PokéAPI?

Only PokéAPI 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 Traveller Map and PokéAPI need an API key?

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

Can I call Traveller Map and PokéAPI from the browser?

Yes — both Traveller Map and PokéAPI 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 Traveller Map and PokéAPI free for commercial use?

Traveller Map has unclear commercial terms, and PokéAPI is personal/non-commercial only. 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.
