How they are chosen
Only services a business can rely on
Why these twelve, and how they stay healthy.
How they are chosen
Every page on CommentWatchDog calls from one server, and every page is a business.
Free, keyless, commercial use allowed
A service is in only when its own terms allow business use and its free tier is not a small per-address quota that every account would share.
Tested every day
Each service is called daily with a real request; one that starts failing for reasons of its own (a 5xx, gone, now wants a key) is marked broken and left out until it passes again.
A person’s wrong input never marks a service broken.
Its limits travel with it
Each service’s documented limits and terms go with it into the AI builder, so it can tell you before you rely on it, like MET Norway’s required credit.
What the AI builder learns
A service that worked for one business can help the next one, safely.
Shared as a shape only
A keyless GET that worked for one owner can be offered to others as its shape: the address and the parameter names. Never a request with a key, a body or a private address, and never one owner’s values.
Any other API, with your key
Anything not on the list works through the same step with its own API and your key in the key box.
Your key is sealed on your step and never offered to anyone.
Left out on purpose
Popular, but not for a business
Well-known free APIs the AI builder will not pick on its own, and what it tells you if you ask for one.
Open-MeteoIts free API is for non-commercial use only; MET Norway covers weather instead.
Genderize, Agify, Nationalize2,500 free names a month for our whole server; they work only with your own paid key.
ZenQuotes5 requests per 30 seconds and a required credit link without a paid key.
CoinGeckoKeyless calls are limited per address and shared by everyone on our server; it needs your own key.
Questions
Questions about the ready services
What people ask before they use a free API.
Twelve ready services: Frankfurter (exchange rates), MET Norway (weather), Nager.Date (public holidays), Zippopotam (postal codes in about 60 countries), postcodes.io (UK postcodes), India Post PIN code, CountriesNow (currency, capital and flag), Wikipedia (summaries), TimeAPI (time zones), Open Library (books), JokeAPI (safe jokes) and PokeAPI (Pokémon).
Yes. Each one allows commercial use under its own terms, and services that do not (like Open-Meteo’s free API) were left out on purpose. Two ask for credit: replies with MET Norway weather must say “MET Norway”, and Wikipedia text should say it is from Wikipedia.
Add an HTTP request step and press Set it up with AI, then say what you want, like “tell people the weather in Portland”. It picks the matching service, tests it and fills the step in. You can also type the address yourself; see the HTTP request step.
Every service is tested daily with a real request. One that starts failing for its own reasons is marked broken and not offered until it passes again, and your step’s Failed way still catches any error so the chat goes on.
Yes. The HTTP request step calls any API: your shop, your CRM, your booking system or any public service. Paste its cURL example, or give the AI builder its docs and your key.
Their free tiers do not fit a business on a shared server: Open-Meteo’s free API is for non-commercial use, and CoinGecko’s keyless calls are limited per address and shared by everyone on ours. You can still call either through the HTTP request step with your own key.
No. A request to a service is free, however often the flow runs. Only setting a step up with AI uses AI credits, about 1 per answer.
