> How much would it cost to do 3 million requests a month?

Hey! Coincidentally at the same time as the OP, I just built a recurring task hook as a service, and I can do 1 request every second (2.6 million per month) for USD$26

You can see that pricing if you plug your requirement (or if you're just curious) into the console[1]. That console is for buying once-off timers.

But I've also made a free API key for people on HN to try out using the API[2]. (those free demo jobs will be capped at 2 weeks no matter what duration is requested tho, and I might end up capping individual timers a certain amount as well, but not yet).

There's also a console for trying out this free API key (which doesn't including pricing/cost info)[3], and I just put this free demo on Show HN[4].
