We're introducing fair use limits for the Analytics API to ensure reliable service for all customers.
Why We're Making This Change
As Linkly has grown, so have the costs of running our analytics infrastructure. A small number of accounts have been making extremely intensive API requests, which impacts performance and costs for everyone. These limits ensure fair access while keeping the service sustainable.
What's Changing
The Analytics API now has usage limits that reset each billing period:
- Free Plan: 100 requests / month, 10 GB data scanned / month
- Monthly Paid: 2,000 requests / month, 2 TB data scanned / month
- Annual Paid: 24,000 requests / year, 24 TB data scanned / year
Rate limits are also in place: 50 requests per hour per workspace.
What This Means For You
Most users won't notice any change. These limits are designed to only affect the most intensive usage patterns. If you're using the API for standard reporting and data export, you're unlikely to hit these limits.
Monitoring Your Usage
You can monitor your API usage in the Billing section of your account settings. This shows your current usage against your limits.
Need Higher Limits?
If you need more capacity for your application, please talk to us using the support widget. We're happy to discuss options for high-volume use cases.
Alternatives for Heavy Usage
For customers with intensive analytics needs, consider our BigQuery Integration, which provides direct SQL access to your click data without API rate limits.
