Understanding Rate Limits

Per-minute limit

Burst protection that resets every 60 seconds. Prevents accidental API flooding.

Per-day limit

Rolling 24-hour window. Resets continuously based on your usage pattern.

Unique recipes per month

Tracks distinct recipes accessed per billing period. Re-requesting the same recipe doesn't count against this limit—only new recipes do. Encourages caching.

What happens if I exceed my limit?

You'll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response with a Retry-After header indicating when to try again.

Free tier: Hard limit, wait for reset. Paid tiers: Contact us for temporary increases if needed.
