Usage, plans & quotas

Each plan includes a monthly request allowance. One single-IP request counts as one unit; a batch ipList or POST request counts as one unit per address, up to 1,000 addresses per request. Your remaining allowance and reset cycle are always visible on your Statistics dashboard.

PlanRequests / monthPrice
Free trial1,00030 days, no card required
Basic100,000$10 / month
Advanced1,500,000$50 / month
Enterprise5,000,000$100 / month

When a key exhausts its monthly allowance the API responds with 402 until the cycle resets or you upgrade on the Account & Billing page. See Pricing for full plan details.

Per-IP rate limiting

For keys used from the browser you can enable Rate Limit by IP Address on the API Keys page, which throttles any single caller to one request every five minutes — protecting your allowance from abuse without a back end.

Tagging requests

Add a tag (max 20 characters) to single-address requests to segment your usage analytics by campaign, product, or traffic source. Tags appear as filters on your Statistics dashboard.
