The API top-up feature allows you to independently increase your monthly API call quota without the need to upgrade your subscription. This self-service capability allows you to efficiently respond to increased demand, ensuring operational continuity and flexibility. The top-up feature is especially useful during periods of unexpected demand or for handling special projects that require additional API capacity.

Top-up details

You can top up your current subscription plan with increments of 100,000 additional API calls. Additional calls are strictly available for the current billing cycle and provide a temporary enhancement to meet your immediate requirements. Note that any unused calls from the top-up do not carry over into the next month.

The top-up feature also provides flexibility in specifying the type of 1inch API that needs additional capacity. You can allocate the top-up to specific APIs based on your project requirements, ensuring that resources are directed where they are most needed.

The API top-up feature exclusively increases the number of API calls available. The rate of requests per second (RPS) remains unchanged and continues to align with the limits defined by your current subscription plan.

If an increase in RPS is required, consider upgrading to a higher-tier plan.

Steps to top up your account with additional requests

Step 1: Fill in your basket

  1. Navigate to the main dashboard of your Developer Portal account.

  2. Under Requests usage, click Top up.

  3. From the drop-down, select the product to which you want to allocate additional requests and specify the amount.

    Selecting the product and specifying the top-up amount

    If you need several products to be topped up, click Add product and repeat the step for each product.

  4. Click Confirm to proceed.

Step 2: Complete KYC or KYB verification (optional)

At this stage, KYC/KYB completion may be required. This is a one-time action and you won't have to verify your identity with each next top-up.

The verification is conducted by the third-party service, Synaps. To learn more about the process, see Registration / KYC requirement.

To start the process, click Proceed to Verification. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete your verification.

Step 3: Confirm billing details

If you previously entered your billing information, it will be auto-filled. However, the fields are still editable. If you edit your billing details in this step, they will be automatically updated throughout DevPortal after you proceed to the next step.

If some or all of your billing information is missing, add it manually. Review your billing details and ensure you filled in all mandatory fields.

Accept terms of usage and click Subscribe to proceed.

Step 4: Make a payment

Confirm the payment and proceed using your wallet. If you haven't connected a wallet before, you will be prompted to connect one at this stage. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your crypto wallet and proceed with the payment.

Once your wallet is connected, select the currency and network for your payment. Review the payment details and click Send to finalize the payment.
