Requests are metered two ways - how fast you call, and how many Cyber credits you spend. Both are visible in your responses.
Requests are rate-limited per token, about 1 request per second. Sending faster returns 429 with rate limit exceeded.
The Dark Web API has its own monthly credit quota, separate from other Webz.io products:
requestsLeft in every response shows your remaining balance (also in the X-WebHose-Requests-Left header).429 with Too many requests: used X out of Y allowed in a month.| Status | When |
|---|---|
400 | Invalid query (Failed to execute query: invalid query), or an unknown sort, order, or segmentation field value |
401 | Missing or unknown token, or your account lacks Dark Web API permission (/cyberSeg returns 429 in this case) |
429 | Rate limit exceeded or monthly quota used up |
500 | Internal error, including unbalanced quotes or parentheses in q |
