API Rate Limits

Trading Economics applies rate limits to its API, restricting how many requests a client can make within a given timeframe. These limits help ensure fair usage, prevent abuse, and maintain system stability. The specific limits depend on the user’s subscription plan, with higher-tier plans allowing greater request volumes and more frequent access.
