Rate Limits

1,000 Requests/Day per Account

A day starts at 00:00:00 UTC and ends at 23:59:59 UTC.

Keeping Track of Your Usage

Every API response includes two headers: x-request-usage shows how many requests you’ve used, and x-request-limit shows your account’s maximum.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
X-Request-Limit: 1000
X-Request-Usage: 643

If you go over the limit, you’ll get an HTTP 420 error.

HTTP/1.1 420 Chill Out!

{
  "status": 420,
  "message": "Chill Out!",
  "additional": "used 1000 of 1000 daily requests",
  "see_also": "https://docs.appfigures.com/api/rate-limits"
}
