As a customer, you can use our public API, which allows you to easily request and submit data. To prevent abuse, there is a limit on the use of the API.

Note: :API keys created before 10-04-2024 have not been assigned a limit.

What limit am I dealing with?

Informer uses two types of limits, each with its own restrictions.

  1. Limit per minute: You can make 60 calls per 60 seconds per API key.

  2. Limit per day: You can make 5000 calls per 24 hours per API key.

For every API call, two headers are returned to inform you about the limit


Limit per minute
