Efficient management of API usage is crucial for maintaining optimal application performance. This section outlines how quotas and rate limits are applied to ensure fair use and prevent service disruption.
Each account is limited to a specific number of requests per second. If this limit is exceeded, your account will be temporarily throttled, and the rate limit will reset after one second. Your application should be designed to handle this by pausing for one second before making additional requests.
All API subscription levels come with specific usage quotas. When you reach your monthly quota, you will receive a response with the status "ss_failed" and the message "You have exceeded your quota limit. Please upgrade your plan." We will notify you as you approach your quota or if your current usage rate indicates you may exceed it. To prevent unexpected downtime, we recommend enabling auto-billing before you reach your monthly limit.
