## Wolfram|Alpha API

- `data-apis/wolfram-alpha-api` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding request-rate | category computational knowledge API | tier Get Started for Free
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-02T00:23:45.809Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-03
- url https://products.wolframalpha.com/api
- free tier: Free access for up to 2,000 non-commercial API calls per month, from a Wolfram ID and an AppID. | unit: requests | metered on: request-count | read on: 2026-11-02 | source: [1] | note: The terms count the results received within a 30-day period, set the quota in the API Plan Summary issued at registration, and let Wolfram change it. The FAQ describes the free access as non-commercial experimental use with a low monthly cap on queries.
- per-object cap: the LLM API returns at most 6800 characters by default, set with the maxchars parameter
- retention: not applicable: every answer is computed on the fly for the query, and the FAQ answers no to a data download | source: [1]
- egress: not applicable: a query API answered per call, not metered in bytes | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: A Wolfram ID is required. Its sign-up form asks for an email (which becomes the Wolfram ID), a first name, a last name and a password, with no card or phone field. The first AppID follows a one-time survey about intended usage and takes an application name and a simple description.
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - request-rate (binding): 2,000 non-commercial API calls per month [1]
  - request-rate (binding): unverified: no per-second, per-minute or per-day limit is published; the quota in force for an AppID is in the API Plan Summary received at registration in the Developer Portal, behind a sign-up [2]
- limits note: A third-party integration guide reports a limit of 100 calls/day and 2000/month for regular users; no Wolfram page states a daily cap.
- binding note: The 2,000 calls a month is the one ceiling that a Wolfram page states; a daily or per-second limit, if any, is in the plan summary behind the sign-up.
- interface detail: REST over HTTP GET with the AppID in the appid parameter: the Full Results API at api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query (XML or JSON), the Short Answers API at api.wolframalpha.com/v1/result (plain text), the Simple API at api.wolframalpha.com/v1/simple (an image) and the LLM API at www.wolframalpha.com/api/v1/llm-api
- endpoint: https://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query
- tooling: any HTTP client, or one of the language bindings that the vendor's libraries page lists
- composes with: Computed knowledge answers, one call at a time, at 2,000 calls a month. Bulk path: none; the FAQ answers no to a raw-data export and no to a data download. For a table-shaped read of open data, see data-apis/wikidata.
- reliability: A call to the Full Results endpoint with no AppID answers HTTP 400 with the message Appid Missing.
- notes: Bulk path: none; the FAQ answers no to both a raw-data export and a data download. Paid plans: the overview page shows no price and its Pricing Information link opens a contact form.
- evidence note: The quota, the sign-up fields and the FAQ answers are read from first-party pages; a keyless call answered 400 Appid Missing. The free key was not exercised, so the AppID creation dialog, the API Plan Summary and any per-day or per-second limit are unread; they sit behind a Wolfram ID sign-in.
