Requests per 24 hours300100010000100000

Limits

If you exceed your plan’s limits, requests will return 429 Too Many Requests until the window resets or you upgrade/add credit.

Monthly credit

Your monthly credit is reset at the start of each cycle. The cycle is monthly based on the date of your first purchase, and the credit is added to your account at the start of the cycle. So make sure to use them!

Request pricing

This is the cost of the requests you make to the API, and is charged to your credit balance.

Displaying venues to your users takes as little as 1 request (search) per session, or 2+ requests (search + detail) per session to also get rich data about a venue.

Top-ups

Top-ups are great for when you have a spikes in usage. While your monthly credit will cycle, top-ups will never cycle, so whatever you add will be safe.Top-up credits only get used when there are no monthly credits left for the month.

Manual top-ups

As mentioned above, top-ups are great for when you have a spikes in usage. Top-up credits only get used when there are no monthly credits left for the month, and they don't cycle, so it's not a problem if you have more then you need.

Auto top-ups

Manual top-ups are enabled by default for Hobbyists and above. By default the auto topup amount is set at 20% of your monthly subscription, rounded to the nearest pound. You can disable and change the auto top-up amount on the billing page.

Auto top-ups only action when your total credit (monthly + top-up) balance falls below 10% of your monthly subscription.

Auto top-ups

Auto top-ups are enabled by default for all plans above Builder, and automatically add credit when your balance falls below a threshold. You can disable or change it on the billing page.

Top-up credits never cycle

Top-up credits never cycle, so whatever you add will be safe.

Cancellations and refunds

You can cancel or change plans at any time. Refunds are handled per our Terms of Sale. Usually refunds are only given when there has been an issue with the service or billing processes. Refunds are not provided for canceling your subscription. When refunds are given, they are tipicly processed within 24 hours.
