# Usage & Attribution

### Usage & rate limits

This API is open to the public and does not require any authentication, tokens or registration.

While we don't currently enforce rate-limits and have done our best to cache relevant data server-side, please don't abuse the API. If we notice performance degradation due to increased usage we may need to implement rate limits.

The API was built first and foremost to serve the needs of stakewiz.com. As such it might not always serve the intuitive objective use case for a particular method. Over time our goal is to make the API more neutral, offer additional filters and sort options and provide a robust and generic window into our data.

{% hint style="info" %}
We may introduce token-based authentication in future, we recommend you reach out and let us know that you're using our API so we can communicate any future changes with you.
{% endhint %}

### Attribution

If you are building a dapp, tool, website etc that uses our API we would appreciate if you would reference this on your site.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stakewiz.com/usage-and-attribution.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
