API Rate Limits for Silver Plan - Programmatic Access Question

Hi Fintel team,

I'm currently on the Bronze plan and I'm evaluating an upgrade to Silver for programmatic use.

I'm building a quantitative investment system that needs to retrieve short interest data (borrow rate and share availability) for approximately 1,400 US tickers daily via your API endpoint:
https://api.fintel.io/web/v/0.0/ss/us/{symbol}

Specific questions:

  1. How many API calls per day/month are included in the Silver plan ($26.16/month)?
  2. Is the Silver plan suitable for automated server-side calls (VPS/cloud server)?
  3. Is there a dedicated API plan with higher limits for programmatic use?

To give you context: I need approximately 1,400 calls per day (one per ticker), running once daily at market close.

Thank you for your help.
