API v1

Rate Limits

API v1 applies per-key request limits and uses credits for semantic search.

Rate limits are applied per API key. OAuth-backed MCP requests do not use the per-key rate-limit buckets because they are not tied to an API key id.

BucketLimit
Read endpoints, including content, credits, and usage120 requests per minute
Write endpoints30 requests per minute
Search endpoints20 requests per minute

When a key exceeds its limit, the API returns 429 with a Retry-After header.

Semantic search consumes one Nestornotes credit per request. Keyword search does not consume credits.
