Our API employs a number of safeguards against bursts of incoming traffic to help maximize its stability. The returned HTTP headers of any API request show your current rate limit status:
curl -i https://api.syntage.com

X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 56
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1606678044

X-RateLimit-LimitThe maximum number of requests you’re permitted to make.
X-RateLimit-RemainingThe number of requests remaining in the current rate limit window.
