API Rate Limiting

To ensure fair usage and optimal performance, ForecastAPI implements rate limiting on all API requests. This page provides details on our rate limits, how to monitor your usage, and best practices for managing your API calls.

Free Tier
1,000
requests / month
Paid Plans
900
requests / minute
Enterprise
Custom
requests / minute

Note: Rate limit headers are included in all responses. Check X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset headers to monitor your usage.

If you run into rate limiting issues, you will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response.

Unless you need live-forecasting, we recommend using the batching endpoint to process large datasets efficiently, which lets you send multiple forecast-requests in a single API call with a 50% discount on the cost per request compared to live-forecasting.
