Free Birds API — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is Free Birds API free to use?

Free Birds API is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires some form of authentication, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.

Does Free Birds API need an API key?

Free Birds API requires some form of authentication. Check the provider's documentation for which scheme it expects.

Can I call Free Birds API from browser JavaScript?

Not directly. Free Birds API 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 Free Birds API still working?

Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached Free Birds API and recorded a 50% reliability score with a median response time of 317 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.

Is Free Birds API available over HTTPS?

Yes. Free Birds API serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
