Developer Platform

Access the Papers API using the same subscription that powers your account.

Your plan (Free, Plus, or Pro) directly controls API key quotas and rate limits. Higher plans unlock more keys and significantly higher hourly throughput.

Subscriptions & Limits

Your plan (Free, Plus, or Pro) controls API key quotas, hourly rate limits, and maximum results per request. Limits are evaluated live from your current subscription on every call.

See the dedicated Rate Limits & Quotas page for the full table, rolling window details, and what happens on plan changes or downgrades.
