Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2026

Acceptance of terms

By creating an account, using an API key or otherwise accessing SectorAPI (the "Service") at sectorapi.com and api.sectorapi.com, you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. In these Terms, "we" and "us" means the operator of SectorAPI.

The Service

SectorAPI provides programmatic access to data across many sectors through a single API key, with documentation and an interactive console on this website. Data is compiled from third-party publishers and is provided for informational purposes only. See the Disclaimer for the limits on how it may be relied upon.

Accounts and API keys

You must provide a valid email address and keep your login credentials and API key confidential.
You are responsible for all usage made with your API key. Rotate it from your dashboard if you believe it has been exposed.
One account per person or organisation. Creating multiple free accounts to exceed plan limits is not permitted.
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to open an account.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any third party's rights.
Exceed, circumvent or attempt to circumvent rate limits, plan limits or access controls.
Interfere with, disrupt, overload or probe the security of the Service or its infrastructure.
Resell, sublicense or redistribute the Service, or substantial portions of its data, as a competing data feed or API, unless agreed in writing (Enterprise).
Remove or obscure the source attribution included in API responses where a publisher requires it to be displayed.
Use the Service in any application where its failure or inaccuracy could lead to death, personal injury or significant property or environmental damage.

Your use of data

Each API response identifies the publisher of its data and, where required, a credit line. Some publishers license their data on conditions (for example attribution or share-alike terms) that also apply to you when you display or republish it. You are responsible for complying with those conditions in your own products. Data you receive may be used within your applications under your plan; it does not transfer ownership of the underlying data to you.

Plans, limits and changes

The Service is offered on Free and paid plans, each with a daily request limit and a set of available endpoints, as shown on the pricing page. We may add, remove or modify endpoints, sectors, features and limits at any plan level at any time, including moving an endpoint between plans, because upstream publishers can change or withdraw their data. Where a change materially reduces what is included in a paid plan you are subscribed to, we will give reasonable notice; your remedy if you are dissatisfied is to cancel.

Payment

Paid plans are billed monthly in advance in US dollars. Payments are processed by Stripe; we do not store your card details. By subscribing you authorise recurring charges until you cancel. Prices may change with at least 30 days' notice before your next billing period.

Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel at any time from your dashboard ("Manage billing"). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and your account then returns to the Free plan. We do not provide refunds for partial billing periods or unused requests, except where required by law.

Availability

We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Data from a publisher may be delayed, unavailable or discontinued at any time. No service level agreement applies unless agreed in writing for an Enterprise plan.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access, or revoke an API key, if you breach these Terms, if your usage threatens the stability of the Service, or if required by law or by a data publisher. You may close your account at any time by contacting us.

Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, documentation, website, the SectorAPI name and logo, and the organisation and presentation of its data, is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. Third-party data remains the property of its respective publishers.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Service and all data are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, timeliness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. See the Disclaimer.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we and our operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or business opportunities, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service or any data obtained through it. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim arose.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your applications, or your breach of these Terms or of any data publisher's conditions.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in court for misuse of the Service or its intellectual property.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, notify account holders by email. Continued use of the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms.
