How much searches can we do in shodan and after what time the API recharges?

Question

I tried Googling about shodan rate limit but couldn't get any good data on how much search can we do and after what time it recharges. Like in GitHub I have 30 requests and after some time it when I finished doing 30 requests it recharges after some time probably in 5 minutes.

>>> s.info()
{'scan_credits': 0, 'usage_limits': {'scan_credits': 0, 'query_credits': 0, 'monitored_ips': 0}, 'plan': 'oss', 'https': False, 'unlocked': False, 'query_credits': 0, 'monitored_ips': 0, 'unlocked_left': 0, 'telnet': False}
>>> 

The code shows everything is 0 still I can search in shodan, why is that? I m using python3-shodan.

Answer 1

Shodan API usage limits reset at the start of every month.

And you're on the Free API tier (oss plan) which is why you don't have any query/ scan credits. If you were on a different API plan then you would see how many queries/ scans you're able to perform and how many credits you've already used.

Answer 2

shodan showing you got 100 Query credits per month.
