You can create an evaluation or production key on [the API keys page](https://dashboard.cohere.com/api-keys). For more details on pricing please see our [pricing docs](https://docs.cohere.com/v2/docs/how-does-cohere-pricing-work). -In this document, we'll discuss some of the limitations associated with a trial key before turning to the parameters of a production key. +| Endpoint | Evaluation rate limit | Production rate limit | +| ------------------------------------------ | --------------------- | --------------------- | +| [Chat](/reference/chat) | 20/min | no limit | +| [Embed](/reference/embed) | 100,000/min | no limit | +| [EmbedJob](/reference/embed-jobs) | 5/min | no limit | +| [Rerank](/reference/rerank) | 10/min | no limit | +| [Generate (legacy)](/reference/generate) | 5/min | no limit | +| [Summarize (legacy)](/reference/summarize) | 5/min | no limit | -## Trial Key Limitations -Trial keys are rate-limited depending on the endpoint you want to use: +All endpoints are limited to 1,000 calls per month with a evaluation key. -- [Chat](/reference/chat): 20/min -- Cluster: 5 calls/min -- [Embed](/reference/embed): 5 calls/min -- EmbedJob: 5 calls/min -- [Rerank](/reference/rerank-1): 10 calls/min -- Generate (legacy): 5 calls/min -- Summarize (legacy): 5 calls/min - -[Chat](/reference/chat) and the [Coral user interface](https://coral.cohere.ai/) are limited to a total of 1,000 calls a month with a trial key.

Please upgrade your API key or contact us directly on Discord. -- Trial keys are free to use even after you upgrade to a Production key. - -## Production Key Specifications - -Production keys for all endpoints are rate-limited at 1,000 calls per minute and are intended for serving Cohere in a public-facing application and testing purposes. Usage of production keys is metered at price points which can be found on our [pricing page](/docs/how-does-cohere-pricing-work). - -To get a production key, start by navigating to the [API Keys](https://dashboard.cohere.com/api-keys) page in your Cohere dashboard.
