Plans and limits

Each team has two limits that you choose independently: how many requests it can make per hour, and how many POIs it can store. When you go over the hourly quota, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests until the next hour starts. When you reach the POI limit, creating or importing POIs returns a 403.

Tiers

Pick one tier for each limit; the monthly price is the sum of both, and the lowest tier of each is free.

Requests per hour

POIs

New teams start on the Free tiers: 50 requests per hour and 1,000 POIs. See your limits and current usage, and change them, on the Plan & usage page of the dashboard. Paid tiers are billed monthly by card through Stripe; upgrades apply right away, changes are prorated, and you can cancel anytime from the billing portal. The same prices are available from the public GET /v1/pricing endpoint. Need more than the highest tiers? Contact us.

How requests are counted

• The window is a fixed hour. It resets at the start of every hour, in UTC.
• Every request counts, including the ones that return a 4xx error. A bulk import counts as one request, whatever the size of the file.
• Requests rejected with a 429 do not count.
• Requests without a valid API key are rejected before the limit applies, so they return a 401 without rate limit headers.
• All API keys of a team share the same quota.

Rate limit headers

Every authenticated response, including errors, carries these headers:

curl -i https://api.lanewise.app/v1/pois \
  -H "X-API-KEY: {YOUR_API_KEY}"

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
X-RateLimit-Limit: 1000
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 999
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1790467200
