02 · Follows your subscription

Available from Professional, on every product.

API access is set per product. A key can only use the products where your plan includes it.

Plan changes apply on their own. If a product moves to Standard or its subscription ends, that product's scopes pause on every key and MCP server, and other products keep working. Upgrade again and they resume, with no new keys needed.

Security

FAQ

Developers, answered.

Which plans include the API?

Professional, Premium and Enterprise, set separately for each product. Standard plans do not include API access.

What happens if we downgrade?

Scopes for the downgraded product pause on every key and MCP server. Keys stay in place and work again when you upgrade.

Can we test before going live?

Every product starts with a 15-day free trial. When developer access is released you will be able to build against your trial organisation first.

Who can create keys?

Team members whose role includes Developer access. Every change is recorded in the audit log.

Are there rate limits?

Yes, per key and by plan. The docs list the limits and the response headers that report them.
