From your first call to production scale.

10 requests / second across all tiers

Questions worth answering before you commit

What counts as a request?

One call to any /v1 endpoint that returns data, including responses served from cache. Calls rejected with a 4xx or 5xx are not counted against your quota.

What happens when I reach my monthly quota?

Requests return 429 with the reset time in the response headers. Nothing is billed automatically and there is no overage charge, so a traffic spike cannot produce a surprise invoice.

What does the attribution requirement mean in practice?

On the free tier, name DroneInfo as the weather source somewhere a user of your application can see it. Pro and Enterprise remove that requirement. Attribution owed to the upstream agencies, such as the Met Office and Environment Canada, applies on every tier and is listed in the API documentation.

Is the free tier permanent?

Yes. It is a standing commitment rather than an introductory offer, and it exists because a decision-support tool nobody can afford to call is not much of a decision-support tool.

Can I try the API before signing up?

Yes. The demo endpoint takes no key at all and answers 20 requests per hour per IP against the live pipeline, not a fixture.
