Caching and freshness#

  • Fresh for about 10 minutes. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
  • Between 10 minutes and 1 hour the cached copy is still served instantly and marked stale: true while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
  • If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 hour more (marked stale).
  • A "not found" is remembered for 2 minutes and is free.
  • The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

What can go wrong#

StatusCodeWhat to do
401unauthorizedCheck the x-api-key header.
402insufficient_creditsAdd credits; your balance must cover the price.
404not_foundThat record does not exist. Free; do not retry.
422invalid_paramsFix the parameters using the table above. Free.
429rate_limitedWait Retry-After seconds, then retry.
502upstream_errorThe source failed. Refunded; retry with backoff.

See Errors for the full list and retry guidance.
