Response Object
Token Costs
Each API call consumes tokens from your monthly budget. Endpoints that return richer or deeper data cost more tokens. Historical endpoints scale with the amount of data requested.
You never have to guess how much is left: every metered response carries your balance in
x-tokens-* headers: x-tokens-cost (what this call cost),
x-tokens-limit / x-tokens-remaining (monthly), and
x-tokens-limit-today / x-tokens-remaining-today (daily). The
remaining values are net of any credit applied to the same request. A 401 refused at your
limit carries them too, with x-tokens-cost at 0 because nothing was charged.

Account Limits
Each plan includes a monthly token budget: 3,000 for Sandbox, 250,000 for Quant, and 1,000,000 for Pro. Each market has its own budget, and a daily cap as well (500 tokens a day on Sandbox). The monthly budget resets to the full amount on the 1st of the month for an account with no active monthly subscription, or on your subscription's renewal date once its payment clears. Unused base tokens don't carry over. You can top up at any time with a one-time token pack; pack tokens never expire and any unused pack balance rolls forward. If you exceed your budget, the API returns a 401 until the next reset or until you purchase more tokens.
Connection Limits
The Guavy API allows 300 requests per minute per API key, returning 429 above that. We recommend caching responses that don't change frequently to reduce token consumption and improve performance.
