Since there is already a default query parameter value, just click the blue "Test endpoint" button to make a your first API call. The JSON response will be displayed on the right panel. **Documentation and Resources:** Refer to the detailed endpoint, parameter descriptions, and examples provided in the Endpoints tab under each endpoint. Code snippets are available for all popular programming languages and environments, including - Javascript, Python, Java, Shell, and many others, to help you easily integrate the API into your project or workflow. You should be good to go now!

Response Structure

Here’s an example of a successful response: ``` { "similar_sites": [ "nytimes.com", "washingtonpost.com", "bbc.com", "cnbc.com", "theguardian.com" ] } ``` Please note that some errors might be returned by the RapidAPI gateway and will have a different structure. Please refer to the Error Handling / Error Response Structure section for more details. In addition, RapidAPI gateway adds several headers to each response, for more information, please refer to https://docs.rapidapi.com/docs/response-headers.

Endpoints

For detailed endpoint parameters and responses documentation and examples, and to try the API, please refer to the Endpoints section of the API.

Rate Limiting

Each subscription plan of the API defines the maximum number of requests permitted per month or the quota, in addition to a rate limit expressed in RPS (Requests Per Second). Please note that all free plans of the API (e.g. BASIC) are rate limited to 1000 requests per hour. This is a RapidAPI requirement for any free plan.

Rate Limits Headers

All API responses include rate limit information in the following headers: **x-ratelimit-requests-limit:** Number of requests the plan you are currently subscribed to allows you to make before incurring overages. **x-ratelimit-requests-remaining:** The number of requests remaining (from your plan) before you reach the limit of requests your application is allowed to make. When this reaches zero, you will begin experiencing overage charges. This will reset each day or each month, depending on how the API pricing plan is configured. You can view these limits and quotas on the pricing page of the API in the API Hub. **x-ratelimit-requests-reset:** Indicates the number of seconds until the quota resets. This number of seconds would at most be as long as either a day or a month, depending on how the plan was configured.

Handling Limits

When hitting the rate limits of the API, the RapidAPI gateway will return a 429 Too Many Requests error. When that happens, wait until your rate limit resets, or consider upgrading your subscription plan for a higher limit. We can support almost any monthly quota and rate limit, contact us for more information. Here’s an example of a 429 Too Many Requests error: ``` { "message":"Too many requests" } ```

Code Examples

Code examples are available for all popular programming languages and environments (Javascript, Python, Java, Shell, etc) on the Endpoints tab, on the right panel, under “Code Snippets”.
