How to call it

A starting template for Open Notify. Replace ENDPOINT with the path from the official documentation, which we link above rather than guess at.

# No authentication required.
curl -s "http://open-notify.org/ENDPOINT" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

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

Where this listing comes from

Open Notify — common questions

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

Is Open Notify free to use?

Open Notify 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 Open Notify need an API key?

No. We called Open Notify 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 Open Notify from browser JavaScript?

Yes. Open Notify 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 Open Notify still working?

Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached Open Notify and recorded a 100% reliability score with a median response time of 967 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.

Is Open Notify available over HTTPS?

No. Open Notify 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.
