Rate Limits & Quotas

Every plan has a monthly request quota and a per-minute rate limit. Exceeding either returns a 429 response.

Plan limits

Monthly quota reset

Monthly quotas reset at midnight UTC on the 1st of each calendar month. Your current usage and the reset date are visible in Dashboard → Usage.

The 429 response

When you exceed a limit, the API responds with 429 Too Many Requests and a Retry-After header indicating how many seconds to wait before retrying. The response body follows the standard error envelope:

HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 55

{
  "error": {
    "code": "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED",
    "message": "Per-minute rate limit exceeded. Retry after 55 seconds."
  }
}

Handling rate limits

• Check the Retry-After value and wait that many seconds before retrying.
• Implement exponential back-off for sustained high-volume workloads.
• Use per_page=100 (Pro+) to fetch more data per request and reduce total call count.
• If you regularly approach your monthly quota, upgrade your plan or contact us for Enterprise pricing.
