Rate Limiting
What it does
API rate limiting protects the platform and ensures fair usage. The Forever Free plan includes 60 requests per minute and 100,000 calls per month (soft cap). Every response includes X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset headers.
How to use it
Check response headers
Every API response includes X-RateLimit-Remaining (calls left) and X-RateLimit-Reset (reset timestamp).
Handle 429 responses
When rate limited, you receive HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Wait and retry.
Implement backoff
Use exponential backoff in your client code. The official SDKs handle this automatically.
Request higher limits
Enterprise customers can contact us for custom rate limits.
