Authentication

Authentication is optional. The API is publicly accessible with rate limiting. If you have a team API key, include it in the request headers to log usage against your account.

Header

x-api-key: your-api-key-here

Rate Limits

Without API key: 100 requests per day per IP address
With API key: 100 requests per day per IP (usage logged to your team)
Rate limits reset daily at midnight UTC
Exceeding the limit returns a 429 status code
