Does the MineSkin API need an API key?

Not for the 1 operation checked. An anonymous request was answered with a machine-readable body that is not an error envelope, on 2026-09-15. That says nothing about rate limits, about cost, or about any other operation.

Every record behind those answers

1 open record, observed 2026-09-10. Every claim below carries the command that disproves it. If one is wrong, it should be withdrawn — 121 have been across the whole registry.

declared credentials but answers anonymously (1)

The document declares this operation requires credentials. An anonymous request is answered with real content, not a refusal. Read as: the declared requirement is broader than the API enforces here. Every body was read individually; this is not inferred from a status code.

If a record here is wrong

Run its check. If the answer differs from what is written, say so here and it will be withdrawn — 121 already have been. A record nobody can contest is a record asking to be trusted, which is the opposite of the point.

What this page does not tell you

This is not a clean bill of health for anything not listed. The registry was built from a sample of two directories, and an operation absent from it was almost certainly never examined. Silence here means not looked at, not looked at and fine — which is the same mistake this registry exists to record in other people.

What this is

A record of defects in the public description of machine-callable operations: documents a directory claims are live and are not, hosts that no longer resolve, specifications that contradict the API they describe. It is not a ranking, not a review, and not a judgement about the service. No credential is ever sent to anything listed here.
