Usage limits

Understand daily request limits for non-live API keys and how to read rate-limit response headers.

Access to the MassiveMusic API may be rate limited for non-live API keys, such as prototype or test keys. The limit applies to the number of API requests made using a single API key per day (i.e. it is not split across end users or IP addresses).

Responses from all rate limited API methods will include the following HTTP headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 4000
X-RateLimit-Current: 100
X-RateLimit-Reset: 123465
  • Limit is the maximum number of requests allowed for your API key in given period.
  • Current is the number of request already made in this period.
  • Reset is number of seconds left until the end of the current period when the usage counters are reset.
