Searoutes Rate Limits

Searoutes gates usage primarily by monthly call quotas tied to the purchased subscription bundle rather than by published per-second/per-minute throttles. The free trial key is capped at 100 calls over a 7-day validity window. Paid bundles include a minimum monthly call allotment (Ocean Routing from 3,000/mo, Vessel Tracking from 5,000/mo, Carbon Emissions from 1,000/mo). Individual endpoints may be disabled depending on the service plan attached to an API key. Explicit burst/QPS limits and 429 handling details are not published and should be confirmed with Searoutes.

Policies

Quota-Based Access
Access is governed by the monthly call allotment of the purchased bundle rather than a published QPS ceiling.
Plan-Scoped Endpoints
An API key only unlocks endpoints included in its subscribed products.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement retry with exponential backoff on 429 responses and monitor remaining monthly quota.
