Rate limits

How many requests you can make.

Plan	Keys	Requests per minute (per key)
Standard	1	60
injuring+	5	120

Limits use a one-minute window per key. Every response carries these headers:

Header	Meaning
X-RateLimit-Limit	Your per-minute limit.
X-RateLimit-Remaining	Requests left in this window.
X-RateLimit-Reset	Unix time (seconds) when the window resets.
Retry-After	On 429 only: seconds to wait.

Handling 429 with backoff

async function call(url, tries = 3) {
  const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.INJURING_KEY}` } });
  if (res.status === 429 && tries > 0) {
    const wait = Number(res.headers.get("Retry-After") ?? 1);
    await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, wait * 1000));
    return call(url, tries - 1);
  }
  return res.json();
}

Tip:Cache responses on your side. Profiles rarely change more than once a minute.
