EffectHub API beta
The EffectHub API is available for non-commercial use. Commercial use is possible by prior arrangement. Please contact us if you wish to apply for commercial use of the API.
Overview
All API access is over HTTP. All responses are returned as JSON. The API is (mostly) RESTful.
Currently, no API key is required, but this will likely change so that we can better monitor usage and enforce the Terms of Use (below). The API has been stable, but will retain the beta moniker until API keys are added.
API calls are limited to 60 per minute and 10,000 per day. We may change the limit in the future and/or tie it to API keys. Exceeding the limit will result in 403 "Rate Limit Exceeded" responses.
Contact us with comments, questions or feedback on the API.
