# How to access Coverr's Free Videos API
# Get an API Key
In order to use the Coverr API you need an API Key.
To get your API key, you need to have a Coverr account. You can register at coverr.co (opens new window) and then create your application (add your app) to get a key instantly at coverr.co/developers (opens new window) or in your profile settings (opens new window).
# Quotas and limits
Every Coverr API key provides access to all of our API features. The limits are based on your application status and subscription tier.
# Demo — 50 requests/hour
A new application starts with Demo status. It is limited to a maximum of 50 requests per hour — enough for personal use, hobby projects, and staging purposes.
# Production — 2,000 requests/hour
To move your app to Production status and increase your limit to 2,000 requests per hour, you must have an active Pro or Ultimate subscription.
# Enterprise — Custom limits
Need more requests? If your application requires a higher capacity, please contact us at [email protected] to discuss Enterprise options.
