FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short, direct answers. If something is missing, ask us — we respond within one business day.
What counts as a request?+
Every API call that reaches the platform and returns a 2xx response counts against your monthly quota. Failed requests with 4xx or 5xx status codes do not consume quota, with one exception: 429 responses caused by exceeding your own limits are not billed either — they simply are not served.
How do rate limits and quotas interact?+
Rate limits cap sustained requests per second (with burst capacity equal to the limit); quotas cap total requests per calendar month across all APIs combined. Both are visible on every response via X-RateLimit-* and X-Quota-* headers, so your client can throttle proactively.
What happens when I hit my monthly quota?+
Requests return 429 with the stable code QUOTA_EXCEEDED until you upgrade or the quota resets on the first of the month (UTC). There are no automatic overage charges — you will never receive a surprise invoice.
How do API keys work?+
Each account has a single API key that covers every API in the catalog. The key is displayed once at creation and stored only as a salted hash. You can rotate it instantly from the dashboard; the old key stops working immediately.
How fresh is the data?+
Responses reflect publicly available information at the moment of collection, and every response tells you exactly when that was: the meta.as_of timestamp. Data points that stop being publicly available cannot be served — see the versioning policy for how such external changes are handled.
What reliability can I expect?+
We target 99.9% monthly uptime, measured by synthetic checks published on our status page. The platform is built on redundant serving paths with automatic recovery, so single failures are absorbed without customer impact. Enterprise agreements include a contractual SLA with service credits.
Is there an OpenAPI specification?+
Yes. The complete platform is described by an OpenAPI 3 document generated directly from the same schemas the gateway enforces at runtime — the spec cannot drift from actual behavior.
Can I cancel or change plans at any time?+
Yes. Billing runs through Stripe; you can upgrade, downgrade or cancel from the customer portal at any time. Plan changes apply according to Stripe proration rules; cancellation stops renewal at the end of the current period.
What support is included?+
All plans include support via support@endpointry.com with responses within one business day. Growth and Scale plans receive priority handling, and Enterprise agreements include dedicated support with response-time commitments.
Do you offer enterprise terms, DPAs or security reviews?+
Yes. Enterprise plans include contractual SLAs with credits, a Data Processing Agreement, security questionnaires and custom volume or throughput. Contact sales to start the conversation.
