API calls are the core metric that defines how often you can access Finazon API. This includes but is not limited to requests to reference, price, aggregates, fundamentals, and other endpoints. And thanks to the flexibility of API, each request consumes only one API call. At the start of each minute, the limit will be reset for options with limit (2, 30, 100, 500, 1200, 2500, and 5000 API calls).

Selecting the right amount of API calls largely depends on the intended usage. For instance, simple portfolio tracking applications require fewer requests, while the brokerage terminal has progressive demand and will require unlimited API calls. It’s also possible to make fewer API requests during the development stage and switch to higher limits in production mode.

Sidenote: In the past, we had two options—"API requests" and "Historical API requests." On 25 Jan 2024, we combined them into a single option, "API requests." Now, you can easily choose how many requests you need without worrying about your app's consumption. Configuring datasets has become more friendly and transparent.
