PrizePicks API rate limits: requests per minute and per month
PrizePicks API rate limits for the Free, Developer and Production plans, what consumes the shared allowance, and how to handle a 429 response.
PrizePicks API rate limits are set per plan and shared across a workspace. The figures below are read from the plan configuration that enforces them.
Limits by plan
- The Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month at 10 requests per minute.
- The Developer plan costs $49 per month and includes 100,000 requests per month at 60 requests per minute.
- The Production plan costs $149 per month and includes 1,000,000 requests per month at 300 requests per minute.
What counts against the allowance
The allowance belongs to the workspace, not to an individual key.
Revoking a key prevents subsequent authenticated requests, and all keys in a workspace share the plan request allowance. The public sample endpoint uses fictional players and deterministic observations, requires no key, and does not consume a workspace allowance.
When a limit is reached
A 429 response means the request rate or monthly allowance was exceeded. Clients should use retry backoff, respect rate-limit headers, and avoid refreshing a full board independently for every end user.
Spending fewer requests
The cheapest request is the one a client does not need to send.
By default, live projections include only active offers present in the latest successful collection for their scope and confirmed within the last 10 minutes. The /changes endpoint is a cursor-based stream of new, changed, unavailable and restored offers. When meta.next_cursor is non-null, pass it as cursor with the same filters, and treat cursors as opaque values. A single page of results should not be read as a complete board.
