Free UV Index API — common questions

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

Is Free UV Index API free to use?

Free UV Index 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 UV Index API need an API key?

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

Can I call Free UV Index API from browser JavaScript?

Not directly. Free UV Index 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 UV Index API available over HTTPS?
