Tiers
| Tier | Per minute | Per day | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 10 | 100 – 200 | Daily cap adapts to server load. Caching helps. |
| Pro | 60 | 5000 | Predictable. Burst headroom reserved. |
Response headers
Every response includes the current state:
x-ratelimit-remaining— requests left in the current minute.x-ratelimit-reset— Unix timestamp when the per-minute window resets.x-ratelimit-daily-remaining— requests left in the current day.
Handling 429
When you exceed a limit, the API returns 429 with a Retry-After header (seconds). Back off and retry — don't hammer.
Upgrade
