Rate limits

None today (Cloudflare DDoS protection only). If you build a public tool that hammers this endpoint, please cache responses for at least 1 hour — vendor prices update at most monthly.

Reliability & data freshness

Pure-TS calculation logic, runs at the Vercel Edge. Vendor base costs and shipping are static YAML in the repo (manually verified monthly, machine-verified via GitHub Actions). FX rates are static mid-market snapshots (not live). For trading-grade precision, do your own conversion against your bank rate.

Source code

All calculation logic is open source under MIT: calculate-profit.ts. Found a bug? Open an issue or DM @lastarna.
