Check Remaining Usage

API responses include rate limit headers:

X-RateLimit-Remaining-Minute: 44
X-RateLimit-Remaining-Account: 49
X-RateLimit-Remaining-Monthly: 99999

When a limit is hit, the API returns 429 with Retry-After.

{
  "error": {
    "code": "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED",
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded"
  }
}

Use the interactive API reference for the full header list.
