API fees and limits

When working with the Qualy API, it's important to understand the aspects related to fees and usage limits.

Fees

One of the key advantages of using Qualy's API is that it comes with no associated fees. Qualy believes in supporting developers by providing access to its API without the burden of additional costs.

It's essential to note that, despite the absence of explicit fees, Qualy reserves the right to monitor and manage API usage. This ensures fair and equitable access to resources for all users. Developers should be aware that unusual or excessive usage that deviates from typical patterns may be subject to review.

Limits

While Qualy does not impose clear quantitative limits on API usage, it's important to understand that there are guidelines in place to maintain the quality of service for all users. Qualy reserves the right to slow down or block requests that fall outside the normal usage patterns.

To ensure a positive experience for everyone, developers are encouraged to adhere to best practices and optimize their API calls. This includes efficient use of resources, avoiding unnecessary requests, and being mindful of the potential impact of high-frequency or resource-intensive operations (e.g. complex queries and high limit for returned objects).

Developers should regularly check for updates and guidelines regarding API usage, as Qualy may refine its policies to better serve the growing developer community.
