Get a free API key (higher rate limits)

Free, opt-in API key. Raises your rate limits; changes nothing else.

Every /api/v1 endpoint stays open without a key and returns the same data either way. There is no paid tier and no gated data behind this. The only thing a key changes is your ceiling, which is multiplied by rate_limit_multiplier on every endpoint.

We ask for an email because usage is logged against a one-way hash of your IP and we have no way to reach you otherwise. use_case is optional and is the field we actually read.

The key is self-contained, so it keeps working across our deploys and restarts. Keep it: we cannot show it to you again.
