API Usage Limits and Overages
Our API plans are designed to accommodate a wide range of applications, whether you're just starting out or scaling rapidly. Below, we’ve outlined important information regarding rate limits and monthly usage allowances.
Our standard rate limiting is set to 5 requests per second. While this may seem limiting, it supports more users than you might expect. Based on our observations, this rate limit can accommodate up to 25 users concurrently on your website or app, as they don’t all make requests simultaneously.
If your application requires higher throughput, this rate limit can be increased. However, any increase is subject to an audit to ensure the site is secure, isn’t being scraped, and that there are no vulnerabilities or code issues.
All of our plans include 1 million requests per month. If you exceed this limit, don’t worry—your API key will continue working. Instead of halting service, you'll simply be billed for the overage at a linear rate.
Example: If your subscription is $199 per month and you exceed 1 million requests by 1,000 requests, you will be billed 19.9 cents:
Overage cost= 1,000,000 / 199 × 1,000 = 19.9 cents
Overages are calculated in real-time, so you’ll be billed in the following month for any extra requests.
If your application is scaling and you need a higher monthly request limit or rate limit, get in touch with us. We're happy to review your requirements and discuss a custom plan that fits your needs.
