Plans & Quotas

Plans

Free Tier

Try the API with real production data at no cost.

Production Plans

All plans are billed monthly. Higher tiers include everything from the tiers below.

Plan Features

Some API features are tied to your plan:

• meta.longer_bin_available (BLAPI-150KPM and above) — successful lookups include a meta object telling you when the dataset has more specific records for a longer version of the queried BIN. See API Reference.
• Batch lookups (BLAPI-500KPM) — look up as many as 2,000 BINs in one POST /v1/bins request. See Batch Lookups.
• Batch CSV (BLAPI-500KPM) — upload a CSV of up to 2,000 BINs in the dashboard and download the enriched file, no code required. See Batch CSV.

Test-mode organisations get every feature free, so you can integrate against the full API — including the meta object — before subscribing.

Free Tier

Organisations without an active subscription get 10 requests per day for free, so you can try the API with real data before subscribing:

• 10 requests/day at no cost
• Real production data — the same responses as paid plans
• No credit card required to get started

Once the free allowance is used up, requests return 429 QUOTA_EXCEEDED with an upgrade_url pointing to your organisation’s billing page. Upgrade to a paid plan anytime from Billing for higher limits.

Daily Limits

Each organisation’s API usage is tracked per calendar day. The counter resets at midnight UTC (start of the next day).

Every BIN looked up counts as one lookup — on a batch request, each submitted number counts individually, including invalid and unknown ones. If a batch is larger than the remaining daily quota, the API returns 429 and consumes nothing.

When a request is made, the system counts all lookups logged for that organisation since the start of the current UTC day. If the count meets or exceeds the plan’s daily limit, the API returns:

HTTP 429 Too Many Requests

{
  "error": "QUOTA_EXCEEDED",
  "message": "Daily request quota exceeded"
}

Quota Response Headers

Every successful response includes quota headers:

These same headers are returned on 429 responses when the quota is exceeded, with X-Quota-Remaining set to 0. The exception is a batch request larger than the remaining quota: it consumes nothing, and X-Quota-Remaining reports the actual remaining quota so you can split the batch and retry.

Example headers:

X-Quota-Limit: 10000
X-Quota-Remaining: 7482
X-Quota-Reset: 1706400000

Dashboard

Billing

Go to Billing to view your current plan, subscription status, and billing period. Managing the subscription requires the Owner or Billing Manager role. From this page you can:

• Subscribe to a plan if you don’t have one yet
• Switch plans — upgrade or downgrade at any time; changes take effect at the next billing cycle
• Manage billing — open the customer portal to update payment methods or cancel your subscription

Usage

Go to Usage to monitor your API activity. The usage page shows:

• Total requests, failed requests, success rate, and average response time for the selected period
• Request history — a paginated log of individual API requests
• Date filtering — narrow results to a specific date range

Usage totals count every BIN submitted in a batch request individually, so the numbers you see match quota consumption exactly. A Batch CSV upload appears as one entry carrying its full row count.

Batch

On BLAPI-500KPM, go to Batch to upload a CSV of up to 2,000 BINs and download the enriched results — no code required. See Batch CSV.

Team Roles

Invite teammates to your organisation and assign each a role. Roles can be changed at any time by an Owner.
