Rate Limits + Usage

Rate Limits & Usage
API access is rate-limited to protect uptime and ensure fair usage across accounts.
What happens if you exceed limits
If you exceed your plan’s limits, the API returns:
429 Too Many Requests
Recommended Client Behavior
Cache responses when possible (especially for endpoints that don’t change every second)
Use exponential backoff on 429 (ex: retry after 1s, 2s, 4s…)
Avoid spamming repeated calls to the same endpoint with the same parameters
Usage Notes
Some endpoints return a last_updated timestamp so you can avoid unnecessary polling when the dataset hasn’t changed.
If you want this page to be “exact exact”, paste your plan limits (requests/minute + daily caps) and I’ll format it cleanly
