Usage and access

Check usage and access

The API tiers page is the source for current access levels, limits, and pricing. Those details can change, so they are not duplicated here.

Use the info operations in the API reference to inspect your account information and recent shared usage. Playground requests count toward usage in the same way as requests from any other client.

Troubleshoot common responses

  • 400 means the API could not accept the parameters or their combination. Review the operation requirements and correct the request.
  • 401 means the request is not authorized. Confirm the bearer header and review Authentication.
  • 404 means the resource or route was not found. Check the operation path and any identifiers in the request.
  • A quota or entitlement response means the current account cannot complete that request. Check your usage and the current API tiers.
  • 500 means the server could not complete a valid request. Retry later and contact support if the problem continues.

The playground shows the API's response status, headers, and body so you can distinguish an API response from validation performed before a request is sent.
