Rate limits

The amount of requests you can do before you run into our rate limit depends on your subscription. With our free API key, you can make 10K requests per month. If you need more you can upgrade very easily.

Without a key, you can still make a very limited amount of requests, so you can quickly test if our endpoints fit your needs, or debug a little bit during development. The unauthenticated requests are not guaranteed to work, so we advise you to get a key to not unexpectedly run into the rate limiter.

Types of rate limiting

We have rate limits for several time intervals. We protect against burst requests by limiting the free keys to about five requests per second. Our free key is limited to 10K requests per month. Unauthenticated requests are limited much more per month, and have limits per minute and hour as well. The current unauthenticated rate limits might change in the future to whatever we see fit; for guaranteed rate limits get one of our free keys.

Rate limit response headers

Every request you do returns information about the rate-limit, so your application can adapt before reaching the limit.

Header	Description
X-RateLimit-Limit-Second	The maximum amount of requests in a second
X-RateLimit-Limit-Minute	The maximum amount of requests in a minute
X-RateLimit-Limit-Hour	The maximum amount of requests in an hour
X-RateLimit-Limit-Month	The maximum amount of requests in a month

X-RateLimit-Remaining-Hour	The amount of requests you can still do in a hour
X-RateLimit-Remaining-Month	The amount of requests you can still do in an hour

RateLimit-Remaining	The amount of requests remaining for the lowest remaining limit
