Rate Limits
To ensure the stability and reliability of our API for all users, rate limits are enforced and all developers are expected to adhere to a fair use policy.
Default limits
Section titled “Default limits”Each API key is subject to a default rate limit of 60 requests per minute. Sustained high-volume usage beyond the standard limit may result in throttling.
Developers requiring higher limits for legitimate use cases are encouraged to contact us for review and potential adjustment.
Response headers
Section titled “Response headers”Rate limit information is included in the response headers:
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
X-RateLimit-Limit | Maximum requests allowed per window |
X-RateLimit-Remaining | Requests remaining in the current window |
X-RateLimit-Reset | Unix timestamp when the window resets |
Fair use policy
Section titled “Fair use policy”Responsible usage is required at all times:
- Implement appropriate caching where possible.
- Avoid unnecessary or excessive requests.
- Automated tools must respect rate limits and include headers that clearly identify the application making the requests.
Activities that interfere with the performance or availability of the service — including attempts to overload the API, denial-of-service behaviour, or excessive simultaneous connections — are strictly prohibited. Such violations may lead to reduced access, temporary suspension, or permanent revocation of API credentials.
Developers with high-volume or unique usage requirements are encouraged to reach out in advance to discuss appropriate access arrangements.
