Price and freshness
A call takes 1 request. Free requests are spent first, then your balance. The pricing page has the rates.
Answers are kept for up to 10 minutes. Asking again inside that time returns the same answer and takes 1 request again.

Up to 10 minutes. A story posted after that shows on the next call.
