API: Limits¶

Make sure to read the API Overview before reading this document.

Retrieving Your API Limits¶

Required Variables¶

Variable	Description
section	Must be set to `limits`.
action	Must be set to `retrieve`.
api_key	Must be set to your unique API key.

Response¶

After we receive these variables, we will respond with raw XML containing status and your account's API request limits. You will receive your limit and how many requests you have left for each time metric currently tracked for your account. The remaining requests will reset to your limit after the given time metric has past.

Note: Unlimited is represented by -1 and you may notice it under the day metric for a limited time.

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xml>
    <status>1</status>
    <minute left="18" limit="30"/>
    <day left="9000" limit="21600"/>
</xml>
