Rate limits

Every API key gets a per-minute budget. The default is 60 requests/minute and 10 000 requests/day.

How it works

Each request increments a per-key bucket keyed on the current minute. When the bucket count exceeds your requestsPerMinute, subsequent requests in that minute return 429 rate_limited with a Retry-After header in seconds until the next minute boundary.

Reading the response

Successful responses include the key prefix that authorised the call:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
x-api-key-prefix: vk_live_a3f9c2

Use this to correlate provider-side logs with your client logs.
