Requests are metered two ways - how fast you call, and how many credits you spend. Both are visible in your responses, so there are no surprises.
Requests are rate-limited per token, by default about 1 request per second per endpoint. Sending faster returns 429:
{
"detail": "rate limit exceeded"
}Pace your calls and use Pagination to collect large result sets.
Every request consumes credits from your plan:
requests_left in every response shows your remaining balance.When your balance runs out, requests return 429 with an insufficient-credits message.
Errors are JSON with a detail field:
{
"detail": "Unknown API token"
}| Status | When |
|---|---|
400 | Invalid parameters: unbalanced quotes or parentheses in q, more than 10 proximity operators, size out of 1-100, negative from, unknown sort, order, or field value |
401 | Missing or unknown token, or your account lacks access to this product |
403 | Account not activated, trial ended, or a trust.source.type filter your plan does not include |
429 | Rate limit exceeded or insufficient credits |
