Hi!
I've recently encountered an error while using your API that states: "User is performing too many actions: please try again later".

Account Type: Premier_Free

Could you please help me understand:
  1. What are the rate limits for Premier_Free accounts?
  2. Is there a way to monitor my current API usage?
  3. Are there any best practices you can suggest to avoid hitting these limits?
  4. If I need higher limits, what upgrade options are available?

Thanks for reaching out. 

Please get in touch with our Platform API team and we would be pleased to up your limits: https://platform.fatsecret.com/contact

For users of our free Basic tier we provide 5,000 calls/day while we can provide unlimited volumes for Premier Free users upon request.
