This API is served over plain HTTP. Browsers block HTTP requests made from an HTTPS page, so you will need a server-side call.

Chronicling America — common questions
Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.
Is Chronicling America free to use?
Chronicling America is listed in our free catalogue and required no credential when we called it. It needs no authentication at all, so you can send a request without signing up. Free tiers can still carry rate limits or non-commercial terms, so check the provider's own terms before shipping.
Does Chronicling America need an API key?
No. We called Chronicling America on 2026-09-18 with no key, no token and no Authorization header, and it responded. That is what puts it in our no-key collection.
Can I call Chronicling America from browser JavaScript?
Not directly. Chronicling America did not return CORS headers when we checked, so the browser will block your page from reading the response even though the request itself succeeds. Call it from a server, or put a small proxy in front of it.
Is Chronicling America still working?
Not at our last check on 2026-09-18. Chronicling America did not respond successfully, which is why it is marked as down here. This may be temporary; we re-check on a schedule and the badge above reflects the most recent run.
Is Chronicling America available over HTTPS?
No. Chronicling America was only reachable over plain HTTP when we checked. Browsers block HTTP requests made from an HTTPS page, so this will fail in production unless you call it from a server instead.
