≈ 7,000
images a day at most, for 200 pages
Each project has a daily limit counted in provider pages, not images. New projects start with 200 pages a day: at most about 7,000 images, fewer once filters and duplicates remove candidates.
When a project reaches its limit, running searches finish partial with the reason daily_page_quota. Usage resets at 00:00 UTC. See it in the workspace overview or with GET /v1/usage.
How long data is kept
These are the default retention periods. The operator can change them, so treat them as the standard behaviour rather than a contract. Export results you need before they expire.
- Full request and response bodies in logs30 days
- Search jobs and their result metadata30 days after the job finishes
- Request summaries, provider attempts, feedback, webhook delivery records90 days
- Audit history365 days
- Daily usage counts365 days
Accounts, projects and keys are kept until you delete them. You can download your data or delete your account from the Account page. Pluko never stores image files, only links and metadata. More detail is in the Privacy Policy.
What isn’t guaranteed
A full result count
The source, duplicates, filters or your daily limit can end a search early. The job says why.
Exact filter matching
Filters are passed to the image source on a best-effort basis.
Watermark-free images
Watermark handling is a hint based on titles and domains. Pluko never removes watermarks.
Reuse rights
Results carry no licence. Check each source before using an image.
Uptime
This is a beta service with no uptime commitment. Current state is on the status page.
