Most free tier providers in our directory (including Groq) do not require a credit card for developer key activation. Check their official developer portal for exact signup requirements.
If your application exceeds the RPM (Requests Per Minute) or RPD (Requests Per Day) quota, the API will respond with an HTTP 429 status code until your quota window resets.
