Fxratesapi Rate Limits

FXRatesAPI meters usage primarily by a monthly request quota that scales with the subscription tier (free vs paid), rather than by a documented requests-per-second burst limit. The free tier is confirmed usable without an API key. Specific per-tier monthly request counts and any short-window burst limits are NOT reconciled in this artifact because the pricing and usage pages are client-rendered and require sign-in to read exact values.

Fxratesapi Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for FXRatesAPI on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring requests.

An exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Foreign Exchange, FX, Currency, Exchange Rates, and Rate Limiting.
