Code Examples

PHP Example

Implementation Notes

  • Always handle API errors and timeouts gracefully
  • Store API keys securely and never expose them in client-side code
  • Implement retry logic for failed requests
  • Cache responses where appropriate to avoid rate limit issues

Rate Limits

  • Maximum 100 requests per minute per API key
  • Exceeding limits will result in HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests)
  • Response headers include rate limit information:
    • X-RateLimit-Limit: Requests allowed per window
    • X-RateLimit-Remaining: Requests remaining in current window
    • X-RateLimit-Reset: Time until limit resets (UTC timestamp)
