Rate limits.

Applications are limited to a certain number of API requests per month. If your application exceeds its limit, the API returns an error response with a status code of 429. Each API response gives the details of used and available quota. Sample of data received as header parameters in response:

{
"x-ratelimit-limit": 1000,
"x-ratelimit-available": 500,
"x-ratelimit-reset": 1680514920000
}

x-ratelimit-limit: Indicates the maximum call available for you / your organization.

x-ratelimit-available: Indicates the calls available for the current month.

x-ratelimit-reset: Returns the UTC time (in milliseconds), which determines when the quota expires and when the new quota interval starts.

All applications are limited to the maximum number of free calls it can make. If your application exceeds the maximum call limits the API returns an error response with a status code of 429. To request a higher rate limit, you can reach out to us at APIsupport@monotype.com.
