Usage Limits

Rate Limiting

Our rate limit allows for a maximum of 10,000 lookups per day through either the Placekey API or the Placekey Bulk API. If you exceed this limit, you will receive an HTTP 429 response code, indicating that too many requests have been made.

Additionally, there is a limit on the number of lookups per second. Regardless of which API you use, the maximum is 100 lookups per second. Exceeding this rate will also result in a rate limit error.

Number of Lookups

We limit the number of lookups based on the plan you subscribe to. The API is free up to 10k lookups per day. Note that the number of lookups is different than the number of requests. A request can contain up to 100 lookups.
