NexLev API usage is metered by quota — a per-request cost deducted from your plan's balance — rather than a flat requests-per-second limit.
How Quota Works
- Every successful request deducts a fixed amount of quota, shown as 🥞 on each endpoint's reference page (e.g. Channel Analytics).
- Quota resets according to your plan's billing cycle.
- Cached results (where noted on an endpoint's reference page) do not count against quota.
- Failed requests (4xx/5xx) are not charged.
Monitoring Usage
Check your remaining quota anytime at Manage API Key.
Exceeding Quota
Once your quota is exhausted, requests receive a 429 response:
{
"error": "Quota Exceeded",
"details": "You have exceeded your API quota. Please try again later."
}Per-Endpoint Hourly Limits
Some asynchronous, job-based endpoints additionally enforce an hourly request cap independent of quota. These are documented on the relevant endpoint's reference page — for example, Channel Analysis allows 100 job creations and 500 result fetches per hour per API key.
