Rate Limiting and Usage Quotas

Icefiery implements rate limiting to ensure fair usage and prevent abuse of the service. This page details the current rate limits and how to handle them.

API Rate Limits

Public Upload API

The /upload-temporary-image endpoint is rate limited to:

20 requests per minute per IP address
This limit helps prevent abuse of the public upload functionality
Contact us to request a higher limit for your specific use case

Transformation API

No rate limit on image transformations
Transform images freely based on your plan's transformation quota

Other APIs

All other API endpoints (e.g., saving images, managing metadata) are limited to:

2000 requests per hour per API key
Contact us to request a higher limit

Encountering Rate Limits
