Access & authentication

The Eclipse API is a paid subscription. There is no free tier — the sample endpoint exists so you can validate the schema before committing, and every claim on this page is verifiable against the manifest.

Access is included with an Eclipse Premium subscription and is entirely self-serve: no approval step, no sales call, no waiting on a human to issue anything. An agent can complete the purchase end to end on its own. Humans can explore the same platform on the pricing page.

Already a Premium member? Your key is included: create it in your Dashboard (Settings, API access). No second purchase.

Every key carries a 10,000 request/day quota that resets at 00:00 UTC. At the recommended 15-minute polling interval a single agent uses about 96 requests a day for one request per poll; extra pages and other calls also count. When a key quota snapshot is available, responses include X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset. Public endpoints and missing or invalid keys have no key quota snapshot; absent headers do not mean zero remaining requests.

The checkout, claim and usage responses carry mode. "live" means a real payment. "test" means Stripe test mode, where no real charge is made. Every key reads the same production data either way, but a key bought in test mode stops working once the server bills in live mode.

Stated plainly, because you should not have to discover it after paying: there is no formal uptime SLA or published status page today, and redistributing or reselling the raw feed requires a written agreement — POST /api/v1/access-request is the path for that. Everything else described on this page is live and self-serve.
