Rate limit
The API quota is the number of requests you can perform during a quantity of time.
Your API quota depends on the endpoint you are using:
- free: It's the plan applied for unauthenticated requests. It has a soft limitation of 25 .
- pro: It's the plan applied for authenticated requests. It's based on the plan associated with your API Key, starting from 14,000 .
You can perform HTTP calls always you are under your the API quota limit.
When you reach the API quota limit, you will experience HTTP 429 errors, meaning you need to wait until the API quota reset (or upgrade your plan).
When the API quota is reset, you have a fresh start again.
All requests return your current quota on the response:
x-rate-limit-limit: The maximum number of requests permitted in the current window.x-rate-limit-remaining: The number of requests remaining in the current window.x-rate-limit-reset: The time at which the window resets, in UTC epoch seconds.
The free endpoint reports the daily window. The pro endpoint reports the quota on your API key, and the reset is the start of the next month in UTC. Pro numbers are refreshed in the background, so they can lag the live counter by a few minutes.
We don't apply any throttling limitation: You can perform as much parallel requests as your daily quota allowed you.
If you are hitting the daily quota very often and you want to upgrade your plan, just contact us.
