Anonymous access is intentionally generous, but a key raises your per-minute rate limits ~10x and unlocks the GET /v1/bulk export endpoint. Keys are free.

We use this to rate-limit signups and contact you about breaking API changes.

We store an SHA-256 hash of the key, not the key itself. We never share your email. If you lose a key, just issue a new one (up to 3 per email per day).
