Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.
Is USPTO free to use?
USPTO 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 USPTO need an API key?
No. We called USPTO 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 USPTO from browser JavaScript?
Not directly. USPTO 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 USPTO still working?
Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached USPTO and recorded a 100% reliability score with a median response time of 1237 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.
Is USPTO available over HTTPS?
Yes. USPTO serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
