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.

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

Limit per day

Can I increase the limit?

If the limit is not sufficient for your needs, you can request an increase in calls. To submit a request, send an email to [email protected] with the subject [Request limit increase].

Where can I go with my questions about the limit?
