API Usage Limits

Platform stability is our priority. While we want you to build freely, we maintain sensible limits to ensure high performance for everyone.

Starter Plan

Limited API requests per month. Ideal for personal scripts and occasional captures.

Pro Plan

Unlimited API requests. Focus on shipping, never worry about quotas or hitting a ceiling.

What counts as a request?

Every time your script or agent communicates with our servers—whether it's fetching projects, creating an Idea, or updating the Brain—it counts as one request.

"Build smarter, not harder. Polling is for the past, push triggers are for the future."

Optimizing your workflow

Avoid hitting limits by following these developer essentials:

Reduce Polling

Don't check for changes every minute. Let events trigger your actions.

Batching

Group multiple operations into fewer API calls when possible.

Backoff

If a call fails, wait before retrying. Protect your automation from loops.

Hitting the Limit?

If you've reached your Starter quota, your requests will return a 429 Too Many Requests status. You can either wait for the monthly reset or upgrade to Pro to instantly remove all caps.
