Media Ratings Terminal Quota System

This article details how the MRT quota system works and when deductions to the quota are done.

Upon signing up for access to the MRT, your Sales representative may give you the option to allocate monthly quotas for website and app lookups, as well as for leveraging the Pixalate MRT Enrichment API

The overall monthly quota can be allocated across three supply types that the MRT currently supports:

  • Websites
  • Mobile Apps
  • CTV Apps

To avoid disruption in case monthly allocations are consumed prior to the next quota refresh cycle, your Sales representative may include overage allocations to your subscription. These overage allowances allow you to keep using the MRT for website and app lookups when the base quota has been consumed but note that overage allowance use comes with an overage fee. 

When it comes to how quota is deducted from the monthly allocation, the following actions apply:

  • Accessing insights pages for Websites, Mobile, and CTV
  • Downloading search results
  • Downloading results from the Discovery page (excluding Import CSV downloads, those are already deducted when returned to the UI)


The MRT also provides users with a quota usage page to track their remaining quota, and view usage logs directly on their account page in the MRT.

The quota usage page can be accessed by hovering over your name in the upper right-hand corner of any Pixalate page when logged in, and selecting "Quota Usage" from the drop-down. 

For any questions, please reach out to your customer success representative.
