IG — common questions

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

Is IG free to use?

IG is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires an API key, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.

Does IG need an API key?

Yes. IG authenticates with an API key. Keep it server-side rather than in browser code, because anything in your frontend bundle is readable by anyone who opens developer tools.

Can I call IG from browser JavaScript?

Yes. IG returned CORS headers when we checked it, so a browser will let your page read the response. You can fetch it directly from client-side JavaScript with no proxy and no backend.

Is IG still working?

Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached IG and recorded a 100% reliability score with a median response time of 1558 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.

Is IG available over HTTPS?

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