Rate Limits

The basics

• Default rate limit: 300 requests per minute per API key.
• The window is rolling — counts decay continuously, not at fixed-second boundaries.
• Each key has an independent budget. Adding more keys does not raise your account-level limit.

Headers

Every response carries the current rate limit state:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 300
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 287
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1735689600
Retry-After: 7   # only on 429

Recommended client behavior

1. On 200: read X-RateLimit-Remaining; throttle if it dips below 10% of your limit.
2. On 429: sleep for Retry-After seconds and retry once.
3. On 503 / 408: exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 5s) and stop after 3 attempts.
