Rate Limits

Every API key has daily and per-minute request limits based on subscription tier.

Each key is governed by two independent limits: a per-minute limit that protects against bursts, and a per-day limit that reflects your plan's total allowance. A request only needs to clear both to succeed — hitting either one returns a rate-limit error, even if the other still has room.

Limits by tier

Tier Requests / minute Requests / day Layers
Starter 10 10,000 0, 1, 2
Professional 100 100,000 0, 1, 2, 3
Enterprise Custom Custom 0, 1, 2, 3

Enterprise limits are set per contract to match your usage pattern — reach out to size a plan.

Exceeding a limit

Requests beyond either limit return 429 Too Many Requests. A Retry-After header tells you how many seconds to wait before your next request will be accepted.

Checking your usage

Every response includes headers describing where you stand against the per-minute limit:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 87
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1699200000

For your daily total, the console's Usage page shows real-time consumption against your plan.

Need more room?

You can raise your limits by moving to a higher tier — see Pricing — or, for enterprise customers, by requesting a custom volume commitment.
