Rate Limits

Limits

Requests are rate-limited per 60-second sliding window, based on your subscription tier.

Tier	Limit	Price
Starter	120 requests/min	$5.99/mo
Pro	300 requests/min	$9.99/mo

Unauthenticated requests are not allowed. See Authentication for setup.

Response Headers

Every response includes rate limit headers:

Header	Description
X-RateLimit-Limit	Maximum requests allowed in the window
X-RateLimit-Remaining	Requests remaining in the current window
Retry-After	Seconds until the window resets (only on 429)

Rate Limit Exceeded

When you exceed the limit, you’ll receive a 429 response:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "RATE_LIMITED",
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded. Max 120 requests per minute."
  }
}

Wait for the Retry-After duration before making more requests.

Tips

• Use the meta.cached field to know if data was served from cache — cached responses still count toward your quota, but you can avoid unnecessary polling.
• For bazaar data that updates every 5 seconds, polling more frequently than that wastes your quota.
• Batch your needs: use mode=full to get all bazaar data in one request instead of fetching items individually.
