```

The free daily quota will be used if you don't provide a registered API key.

When you do not attach an API Key, you are going to use the free quota until you reach the daily rate limit.

To get a better daily quota, you'll need to have a plan. See [pricing](https://microlink.io/#pricing) to know the plans.

After payment, you'll recieve the API key (via email) that you need to attach to authenticate requests.
