Overview

Rate limits determine how frequently you can call a particular endpoint. We provide these rate limit plans:

Plan	Free	Tier 1	Tier 2
Price	Free	$50 USD/Month	$250 USD/Month
Subscribe	Get API Key and Start	Subscribe	Subscribe
Max calls per hour*	500	2,500	10,000

*Maximum calls per hour applies to each API resource we deliver. For example, if you are a Tier 1 subscriber, you receive 2,500 API calls to each API resource we deliver, per hour.

API rate limits reset once each hour. If you are experiencing rate limiting errors, please wait 60 minutes to resume making API calls. You can view your rate limit status in API HTTP response headers or using our delivered Rate Limit API.

If you’re a high-volume user of the Arizona Classic Cars API, please contact us to discuss additional options.
