How to call it

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

# No authentication required.
curl -s "http://whatthecommit.com/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.

What The Commit — common questions

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

Is What The Commit free to use?

What The Commit 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 What The Commit need an API key?

No. We called What The Commit 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 What The Commit from browser JavaScript?

Yes. What The Commit 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 What The Commit still working?

Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached What The Commit and recorded a 100% reliability score with a median response time of 4888 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.

Is What The Commit available over HTTPS?

No. What The Commit 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.
