News API is crucial in gathering news, articles, and blog feeds. There are several purposes of News API and it provides seamless data transfer. Let’s understand what are the rate limits that are being provided by NewsData.io for free and paid users.
What is the Rate Limit?
Rate limiting is a technique used by API providers to control the number of requests made by a single user or application within a specified time frame. By imposing limits on the number of requests, API providers can protect their servers from being overwhelmed and maintain a stable service for all users.
It also helps prevent misuse or unauthorized access to the API, safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of the platform.
