Account Usage and Limits

Understanding your account usage helps ensure your applications continue running smoothly and stay within your subscription limits.

Viewing Your Current Usage

You can monitor your current API usage directly from your Intrinio account or through the API.

In Your Account

After signing in to your Intrinio account:

1. Navigate to Account.
2. Select Access or Subscription to review your enabled data feeds and account access.
3. Review your current usage and available resources.

Your account dashboard provides visibility into the data products included with your subscription and the resources available to your account.

Using the API

Developers can retrieve current account usage programmatically using the Account Current Usage endpoint:

GET /account/current_usage

This endpoint returns the current usage for each access code available to your account, making it easy to monitor consumption from your own applications.

Understanding Usage Limits

Usage limits vary depending on:

• Your subscription plan
• The data feeds included with your account
• The specific API endpoints being accessed
• Any applicable rate limits for your subscription

Most API requests count toward the usage associated with the data feed or service being accessed.

If your application exceeds an applicable limit, requests may be throttled or temporarily rejected until usage resets or additional capacity is available.

Best Practices

To make the most of your available usage:

• Cache responses whenever practical instead of repeatedly requesting the same data.
• Use pagination when retrieving large datasets.
• Batch requests when supported by an endpoint.
• Request only the fields and data your application requires.
• Monitor usage regularly if running automated or high-volume workloads.

Checking Your Available Data Access

Not sure whether an endpoint is included with your subscription?

There are two easy ways to find out:

Option 1: From Your Account

1. Open Account → Subscription or Account → Access.
2. Select one of your included data feeds.
3. Click View API Documentation.

The API documentation automatically filters to the endpoints available for that data feed. You can also switch between:

• My Endpoints – Only endpoints available with your subscription.
• All Endpoints – Every endpoint available across the Intrinio API.

This is the fastest way to discover which endpoints are available to your account.

Option 2: Use the Financial Data MCP Server

Intrinio's Financial Data MCP Server understands your account's permissions and available datasets. Simply describe what you're trying to build in natural language, and it can recommend the appropriate datasets and API endpoints that are included with your subscription.

Need More Capacity or Additional Data?

If you've outgrown your current subscription or need access to additional datasets, you can request a consultation with our Enterprise team to discuss expanded data access, custom licensing, or higher usage requirements.

For self-service subscriptions, you can also review available plans on the Intrinio Pricing page.
