When I using Free api there is a limitation of API that we can upload 180 files per hour

I will upload 1000 files at a time.

If I purchase 30$ API what are the benefits do I get I compared to the free version

Is my issue get solved ? That I want to upload 1000 files at a time ?

The PRO plan does not have an hourly limit! :slightly_smiling_face:

The PRO plans include 300,000 conversions per month, these are ~7 conversions per minute. To allow for peaks, the systems allows for up to 100 conversions per minute.

Concurrency limit:

  • 5 for Engine 1/2
  • 1 for Engine 3 (while in beta)

While you can not upload 1000 files (images) with a single api call, you can convert 1000 images in a short time with the PRO plan:

Here is a conversion time estimate:

  • Assume each API call takes about 2 seconds (depends on image size and upload speed)
  • Make 5 concurrent API calls

=> 1000 images are converted in (1000*2)/5 seconds = 400 seconds = ~ 7 minutes
