Get answers to the most common questions about the PSGC Cloud platform.
Is the data official?
The data structure directly mirrors the official Philippine Standard Geographic Code (PSGC), but this service is community-provided. Always verify critical geographic boundaries independently.
How often is the API updated?
Updates occur continuously as new official releases of the PSGC database are published by the PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority).
Can I perform high-volume bulk downloads?
Yes, but please cache the results locally in your applications to reduce server load and optimize speed for your users.
Do you offer a GraphQL endpoint?
Not currently. We focus on lightweight REST endpoints to keep payloads lean, cacheable, and incredibly simple to consume.
Is there an API rate limit?
Light, intelligent rate limiting is applied to protect our infrastructure from abusive traffic. Under normal production or development usage, you will rarely experience throttling.
