Rate limits

Each tier has a daily allowance and a per-minute burst limit. Both are per account: if you have more than one API key, they share them.

Tier	Requests / day	Requests / minute	API keys
Free	100	30	1
Personal	1,000	60	3
Standard	10,000	300	10
Pro	100,000	1,200	25

On paid plans we email you when you've used 80% of the day's allowance, so you hear before anything is refused.

The day is the UK calendar day and resets at midnight UK time. A request refused by the per-minute limit doesn't count against the day.

Headers

Every authenticated response says where your account stands:

Header	Meaning
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	Requests allowed per minute.
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	Requests left this minute.
`X-RateLimit-Reset`	Seconds until the minute resets.
`X-RateLimit-Daily-Limit`	Requests allowed per day.
`X-RateLimit-Daily-Remaining`	Requests left today.
`X-RateLimit-Daily-Reset`	Seconds until midnight UK time.
`Retry-After`	On a `429`, seconds to wait before retrying.

The headers are exposed to browser JavaScript through CORS, so a front end can read them too.

Going over

Going over either limit returns HTTP 429. The error code is rate_limit_exceeded for the per-minute limit, or daily_limit_exceeded for the daily allowance. Wait the Retry-After seconds and retry.
