Limits

Page sizes

Plan history windows

The Starter plan includes the last 30 days of events. Higher plans include the full history. Profiles and organisations aren't windowed on any plan.

search_events states the window in every response under applied.date_window, so an empty result is never mistaken for a quiet period.

Request rates

Chikara Intelligence doesn't apply a per-minute request limit to the API or the MCP server at present. Per-plan limits will be published on this page before they're enforced.

Build for them now. Treat a 429 as a signal to wait and retry with exponential backoff, and keep concurrent requests to a handful per token.

async function get(url, attempt = 0) {
  const res = await fetch(url, {
    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.CHIKARA_API_TOKEN}` }
  });
  if (res.status === 429 && attempt < 5) {
    await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2 ** attempt * 500));
    return get(url, attempt + 1);
  }
  if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
  return res.json();
}

const { success } = await get("https://api.chikaraintel.com/v1/events?eventType=move&limit=20");
console.log(success.length);

Fair use

The Terms cover acceptable use, including not working around published limits. If a workload needs more than a handful of concurrent requests, book a call and we'll size it with you.
