MalDatabase — common questions

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

Is MalDatabase free to use?

MalDatabase 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 MalDatabase need an API key?

Yes. MalDatabase 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 MalDatabase from browser JavaScript?

Yes. MalDatabase 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 MalDatabase still working?

Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached MalDatabase and recorded a 100% reliability score with a median response time of 1162 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.

Is MalDatabase available over HTTPS?

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