Data & Privacy

What the API stores about your requests, and for how long.

The design goal described publicly is to keep as little of your traffic as possible. Query text and request bodies are not persisted; they exist for the duration of the request.

DataContainsRetention
Request contentNothing (not persisted)Request duration only
API keyA hash and a short display prefixUntil revoked
Usage countersCalls per key, per day, per endpointShort window
Billing ledgerAccount, credits, endpoint label, timestampAs a billing record
Alert subscriptionsWebhook URL, encrypted secret, email, watched sourceUntil deleted

Webhook deliveries are signed so you can verify they came from the service (see Law Change Alerts).
