Rate limits

Limits apply per API key using a sliding-window algorithm. Both windows (per-second and per-day) are enforced independently.

When you hit a limit

The API returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header (value in seconds):

  • Retry-After: 1 — per-second window hit
  • Retry-After: 60 — daily quota exhausted
Note: The daily window resets at midnight UTC. Need higher limits? Upgrade to Pro or Enterprise.
