Try it without a key: 500 credits a day per address, 5 requests/s, 1 heavy request at a time. A free key gives you 30,000 credits a month, a usage view and higher limits.

What a call costs

Most calls cost 1 credit; heavier work costs more. A request refused for its input costs nothing; an answer that no route exists counts, because the work was done. Your usage per operation is in the console.

Heavy requests (round trips, route analysis and route weather) also have a limit on how many run at once per project. A request over it gets 429 concurrency_limit with Retry-After: 2; wait for one to finish.

Weather forecasts on trailsplits.com (/api/weather/forecast) are not counted at present.
