8 of the 39 entries here need no credential. Filter this page by "no key" to see them, or browse the no-key collection for every keyless API across all categories.

3 entries in this category need no key and return CORS headers, which is the combination that lets you call them straight from client-side JavaScript. The rest need a server or a proxy in between.

Of the keyless options that responded at our last check, DataCube AI was quickest at a median 174 ms. Speed is only one factor — coverage and licensing usually matter more — but it is measured here rather than claimed.

We call every listing on a schedule and record the status code, response time and whether CORS headers came back. Those results drive the badges on this page. Across the whole catalogue, 487 of 2,712 entries were not responding at the last full run, which is the sort of thing an unchecked list never tells you.
