📈Large-Scale Apps

All developers are able to access the API with limits intended for development purposes and one server.

Important note!

We are only accepting API key requests from established bots or applications. We are not allowing preemptive applications for API keys. As of 2025-June-14, the default rate-limiting for applications without a global API key has been adjusted to allow most applications that serve up to ~150 servers, as such, we are not accepting applications for global API keys unless your app serves over 150 servers.

Rate Limiting with Large Apps

As your app grows, you may realize you are unable to offer services without hitting ratelimits consistently. When this begins to happen, you may reach out to us with a "PRC API ticket" in our Discord server to request a global API key.

What is a global API key?

Requests to PRC's API are limited per-IP, except when a global API key is provided. A global API key allows large applications to send more requests and have higher per-IP rate limits.

Global API keys are intended for applications that are available 24/7 and used by over 75 unique communities.
