Common questions
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The Free tier (1,000 calls / month) is real and doesn't require a card.
What's the latency?
p95 gateway overhead targets <50 ms versus the raw upstream call. Single US region today; multi-region is a v2 problem.
How are responses shaped?
{ data, pagination?, meta? }. List endpoints carry limit / offset / returned / has_more (and total_estimated for searches). Single-resource endpoints just return { data }.What happens at the quota cutoff?
Hard cutoff. We return
429 with the structured envelope and the exact reset timestamp. No surprise overage charges. Upgrade in one click from the dashboard.Where do I see usage?
The dashboard shows current-period requests, percent of quota, daily chart, top endpoints, and status-code distribution. All numbers come from the same
request_logs table the rate-limit headers do.How do I rotate a key?
Generate a new key in the dashboard, deploy it to production, confirm it shows recent last-used activity, then revoke the old one. Revocation is effective on the next request.
