Rate Limit Structure
The Messari API employs a two-tiered rate limiting system (see below).Global Rate Limit
Global rate limits apply to your overall API usage across all Messari services. These limits restrict the total number of requests you can make to our API within a specified time window, regardless of which specific endpoints you’re accessing. Global limits help us manage overall system load and ensure equitable resource distribution among all users.| Subscription Level | Rate Limit | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Unpaid / Lite / Pro | 200 requests / min | Assuming the endpoint to not be Enterprise-gated (small subset) |
| Enterprise | 600 requests / min | Assuming Enterprise team to have access to underlying service endpoints |
Service-Level Rate Limits
In addition to global limits, we implement service-specific rate limits that apply to individual API services or endpoint groups. These more granular limits are tailored to the computational intensity and resource requirements of the service. These rate limits and their underlying subscription access tier are documented within each endpoint’s documentation!MessariAI API Rate Limits
The MessariAI API has different rate limits based on your subscription tier. The table below shows the maximum number of requests allowed per day for each tier:| Subscription Tier | Daily Request Limit |
|---|---|
| Free | 2 |
| Enterprise | 20 |
