Quickstart.
Get from a fresh account to a working API request in three steps. Full reference at docs.rijwind.com.
1
Get an API key
- Create an account: a default project and free plan are provisioned automatically.
- Open /dashboard/projects and pick your default project.
- Click New key. Save the
rw_live_…string: it's shown once.
2
Make a request
Pass your key in the Authorization header. Same key works across every endpoint.
terminal
curl https://api.rijwind.com/search/geocode/v1/forward \ -H "Authorization: Bearer rw_live_••••" \ -d 'q=Damrak 1, Amsterdam'
3
Understand quotas
Each plan ships with a monthly request budget that resets on the first of each calendar month.
- Hard cap: returns
HTTP 429once the budget is empty. - Soft cap: logs the overage, never blocks, and you settle the difference on the next invoice.
See pricing for the current per-plan limits.
Every service has its own page.
