Fair use limits, and agents that see counts, never content
- New: a free account can connect 8 new live sources in any 7 days, Starter and up 100. Demo sources and reconnects do not count, and removing a source does not give a connect back. When the limit is met, the message says when you can connect again. See Fair use.
- New: a free account can connect 10 different Google places in any 30 days, removed ones included. Reconnecting a place you already used is fine, and paid plans have no limit.
- New: business name searches for Google reviews are limited to 40 a day per account and 80 per network, starting again at 00:00 UTC. A pasted Google Maps link or Place ID is not a search, so paste the link when you have it.
- New: when many accounts are created from the same address or network on one day, a new account from it can connect 1 Google place for its first 3 days, or until a card is added in Billing & credits (nothing is charged). Signing in and every other source work as usual.
- New: new Google places are fetched up to a daily number shared by everyone on TileSet, and up to 3 a day for one free account. Past either, a free account’s new Google source still connects, its row says “Waiting for tomorrow”, and its reviews arrive after 00:00 UTC, uncharged until then. Paid accounts never wait. See Google reviews.
- New:
describe_source_content, for AI agents (andGET /v1/sources/:id/contentwith an API key), describes a source as counts for choosing a design: how many items, their dates and pace, star ratings, photos and videos, picture shapes, text lengths and owner replies. See What an agent can do. - Changed: agents and API keys never read your content, from any source. The widget tools’ Preview link opens the widget as visitors see it. A failed source’s error reads as a fixed sentence for a key.
