What are the public key API Limits?

The documentation I’ve found vaguely says “some limitations in terms of frequency of requests and volume of data” and searching here says similar.

On a REST URL with a public key (example) I’m sometimes seeing a 429 response of {'status': {'status_code': 429, 'status_message': 'TOO MANY REQUESTS'}}. There is no retry-after header or any other headers to indicate what kind of quota I’ve hit or when I should try again.

What are the rules for the public API key? Thanks

We are still working out the rules for API usage. For now we have increased the limits for the api_key you are using so you will hopefully not see anymore 429 responses.
