Rate Limits

Every API key is subject to rate limits based on the plan tier it belongs to. Rate limits help ensure fair usage and keep the platform fast and reliable for everyone. If you need higher limits, consider upgrading your plan.

Limits by Plan

The table below outlines the request allowances and feature access for each plan tier:

Plan	Requests/Month	Requests/Minute	Bookmakers	Edge Access
Free	1,000	5	None	No
Hobbyist	50,000	30	1 per request	No
Pro	500,000	120	All	Yes
Enterprise	Unlimited	Unlimited	All	Yes

Rate Limit Headers

Every API response includes headers that tell you where you stand relative to your current rate limit window. Use these to build smart retry logic and avoid hitting limits:

Header	Description
X-RateLimit-Limit	Your per-minute request limit
X-RateLimit-Remaining	The number of requests remaining in the current window
X-RateLimit-Reset	Seconds until the current rate limit window resets

Exceeding the Limit

If you exceed your rate limit, the API will return a 429 Too Many Requests response. When this happens, wait for the window to reset before retrying. Check the X-RateLimit-Reset header to know exactly how long to wait.

429 — Rate limit exceeded

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": 429,
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded. Please wait before making another request."
  }
}
