Rate Limits

Rate limits are enforced per API key, with an additional global per-IP ceiling applied before authentication.

Tiers

The Free tier also has a 1,000 requests/day cap. Paid tiers have no daily cap.

Handling 429 responses

When you exceed a limit, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests.
Wait the number of seconds in retry-after before retrying. Clients should use exponential backoff with jitter.

Failure policy

If rate-limiting infrastructure is temporarily unavailable, requests are allowed through. Limits resume automatically when infrastructure recovers.
