How are Filmot API credits counted, and what happens when I run out?

Exports And APIapirate limits Updated

API requests consume credits according to the endpoint and its documented cost. Your allowance applies to a monthly billing period, and unused credits do not roll over. Patreon supporters receive larger allowances according to tier.

  • API Keys shows credits used, credits remaining and the reset time.
  • Successful responses include headers with the request cost, usage, remaining credits and allowance reset time.
  • A request that would exceed the remaining allowance is rejected with 429 Too Many Requests until the next billing period.

See the API documentation for current endpoint costs and limits. A Markdown version for scripts and AI agents is available at /api-documentation-md.

How should I run automated queries or scripts, and what access limits apply?

Use Filmot's documented public API for scripts, bulk queries and automated searches unless another method has been expressly authorized. Automated requests to ordinary website pages may trigger verification checks or access limits.

Sign in, create a key on API Keys and follow the published quotas, rate limits and Terms of Service. Do not bypass captcha checks or access controls. Patreon supporters receive larger monthly API allowances according to tier.
