API Usage Rate

Hello, I am having difficulty determining the cost for using this API. I expect to perform about 5000 queries a month, occasionally. Thanks

No problem. It is a bit complicated API. It would be easier to document if you had to make one API call per answer, like “fetch #1 on this IP”, “fetch #2 on this IP” and so on, but that would end up in a lot of calls if you want 100 answers about the same IP number, so we made it possible to get multiple answers in one go.
Perfect, thats for the prompt response all!
For the reverse endpoint i presume?
It depends on what queries you make, and for what. For instance the number of hosts on an IP number of a webserver can be only one, or it can be thousands.
Set the max parameter to 1 and you will only use 5000 credits in that month since you will only get max one answer per query.
Hey ubergiekmash,
It looks like Robtex API has a pay as you go plan. So as long as you’re under 10,000 API calls within a month, you don’t have to pay anything. If you make over 10,000 API calls within a single month you’ll be charged 0.01 for each API call over 10,000. (i.e. 10,100 would mean you’re charged $1. If you make 100 overages * $0.01 = $1.00)
