Standard and Real-time are still free on request while billing is being built; pricing lands before GA. Metered in plain requests, not credits — one call is one call, single match or full slate, with no per-market multipliers.
Every limit, side by side.
Same REST surface on every tier. What changes: requests/min, requests/day, freshness (2s–90s), and whether Pinnacle is included.

Rate limits live in the headers.
Every response carries X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset, so you always know where you stand. When the bucket empties you get a 429 with a Retry-After: wait that many seconds, then retry. Every endpoint is read-only, so retries are always safe.
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests X-RateLimit-Limit: 600 X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0 X-RateLimit-Reset: 1748534665 Retry-After: 3 { "error": { "code": "rate_limit_exceeded", "message": "Rate limit exceeded; retry after 3s", "is_retriable": true, "retry_after_seconds": 3, "documentation_url": "https://docs.infersports.dev/errors#rate_limit_exceeded" } }
Rate limits, freshness, and the keyless free tier — answered.
Everything that counts against your bucket, what “real-time” really means, and why retries are safe.
What counts as a request?
Every HTTP call to a /v1 endpoint — one event list, one odds pull, one resolve or convert call. Responses are served from a per-tier cache, so polling the same fixture inside its freshness window is cheap on our side but still draws one token from your bucket.
Is there really a free tier?
Yes — $0, no card. You get a real key in seconds: 60 req/min, 5,000 requests a day, and select Asian books at 90-second freshness. You can also skip the signup entirely and call it keyless at 200 requests a day. It is the same API, just without Pinnacle and the tighter freshness ceilings. Upgrade only when you ship.
How do rate limits work?
Two budgets. Pace is a token bucket per key: it refills at your tier’s req/min and tolerates a short burst up to the bucket capacity, and every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset. Volume is a daily ceiling — 200 requests/day per IP keyless, 5,000/day with a free key, none from Standard up. Either one returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After; a daily one is tagged X-RateLimit-Scope: daily and its Retry-After is hours rather than seconds. Back off and retry — every endpoint is read-only, so repeating a call is always safe.
About "data freshness" — is this real-time?
We have no public WebSocket. Freshness is the outward cache-TTL ceiling on odds responses: the most stale a payload can be before we recompute it from the in-memory snapshot. "Real-time" means a short TTL (2s) plus a high request rate, not a streaming socket. Every payload also carries an as_of stamp so you always know the snapshot age.
Can I upgrade anytime?
Yes. Tiers attach to your API key, so upgrading lifts your limits, drops your freshness ceiling and unlocks Pinnacle immediately — no new key, no code changes. Standard and Real-time are still free on request while billing is being built; pricing lands before GA. Email us and we will set you up.
