The limit applies to /api/v2/data/[id] and the /api/v2/trade/* endpoints. Static pages, sitemap, robots.txt, and metadata listings are not limited.

API Access

Request Higher API Access

China Data Portal's public API is open without sign-up, with a soft daily limit of 100 requests per IP per UTC day on core data and trade endpoints. If you need a higher volume for research, dashboards, or production integration, tell us about your use case below. We review requests manually and reply within 24-48 hours.

This is not an instant key. The first version is reviewed by a person, so there is no automatic key generation. We use your request to understand volume, format, and whether a free higher limit, bulk export, or custom data delivery fits best.
