Quota information

This Data Services API provides functions which are subject to quota limitations, and extra fees may apply. Please check our terms and conditions.

The functions that require service credits to be used are as follows:

  • cdb_geocode_street_point(search_text text, [city text], [state text], [country text]); from Geocoding functions
  • cdb_isodistance(source geometry, mode text, range integer[], [options text[]]); from Isoline functions
  • cdb_isochrone(source geometry, mode text, range integer[], [options text[]]); from Isoline functions

Quota consumption information and usage recommendations

Be mindful of the following when using the abovementioned functions:

  • One credit per function call will be consumed, and the results are not cached. If the query is applied to a N rows dataset, then N credits will be used.
  • You are discouraged from using dynamic queries to these functions in your maps. This can result in credits consumption per map view. Note: Queries to the Data Services API and any of its functions in your maps may be forbidden in the future.
  • You are advised to store results of these queries into your datasets and refresh them as needed, so that you can have finer control on your credits' usage.
