API pricing2 months free annually

Free for evaluation. Paid when it becomes commercial.

OrbitalWiki bills by requests per day at the account level. API keys segment dev, staging, and production, but they share the same plan quota and do not multiply capacity. Provenance and citations are included on every tier.

Paid tiers are planned — every key is currently issued on the free tier.

Annual plans include 2 months free.

#01How limits work

Account-scoped quota

Daily quota belongs to the account. On Builder you can split the 50,000 requests/day across up to three keys, each with its own daily allocation.

No surprise charges

Free, Builder, and Business return HTTP 429 at the limit. There is no metered overage at launch.

Commercial-use trigger

Upgrade when the API supports a product, paid service, organization workflow, or commercial operation.

#02FAQ

What counts as non-commercial?

Personal learning, classroom use, research, evaluation, and private prototypes. A product, paid service, client deliverable, or organization workflow needs a paid plan.

What counts as one request?

One HTTP call to an OrbitalWiki API endpoint counts as one request, whether it returns one satellite or a paginated list.

Can I redistribute the data?

Free is personal only. Builder covers commercial use inside your product or workflow. Business adds redistribution rights. Enterprise covers bulk, resale, and custom terms.

What's your refund policy?

Checkout is not live yet. When it is: if you're not satisfied, contact us within 14 days of your purchase for a full refund, no questions asked. Outside that window, you can still cancel any time; cancellation stops future renewals and you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for, but we do not refund the unused part of that period unless the law requires it.

#03Try it first

Create a dashboard key to inspect the API shape. API routes require authenticated keys, and all keys on an account share the same daily quota.
