Use Cases

Monitor Rate Limit Usage


import requests
 
response = requests.get(
    'https://api.sharpapi.io/api/v1/account/usage',
    headers={'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'}
)
usage = response.json()['data']
 
limit = usage['requests']['limit']
usage_pct = (1 - limit['remaining'] / limit['per_minute']) * 100
print(f"Rate limit usage: {usage_pct:.1f}%")
print(f"Resets at: {limit['resets_at']}")

Check Stream Availability


const { data } = await fetch(
  'https://api.sharpapi.io/api/v1/account/usage',
  { headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' } }
).then(r => r.json());
 
if (data.streams.active >= data.streams.max) {
  console.log('All stream slots in use — close a stream before opening a new one');
} else {
  console.log(`${data.streams.max - data.streams.active} stream slots available`);
