# Rate limits

The API has rate limits in place to prevent abuse. These limits are per API key and vary depending on the endpoint and subscription level.

## Response Headers

The following headers will be returned with each response to show the current rate limit status:

- `X-Rate-Limit-Limit`: The maximum number of requests allowed per minute.
- `X-Rate-Limit-Remaining`: The number of requests remaining in the current minute.
- `X-Rate-Limit-Reset`: The time in UTC when the rate limit will reset.


If the request fails due to rate limiting, you will get a `429` response with the error `TooManyRequests` and the `Retry-After` header will be added:

- `Retry-After`: The time at which the rate limit resets. The same as the `X-Rate-Limit-Reset` header.


## Additional IP Address Limits

There are also additional internal rate limits per IP address. You should not see these in normal use, but if you do, you will get a `429` response with the error `TooManyRequests`.
However this response will not include the additional headers as described above.
