Hosting RESTful API on Heroku

I am relatively new to this Heroku and I am not sure if Heroku is right for my requirement mentioned below: My requirement:

  1. I've made a very basic Python app - which reads google spreadsheets and store the results in a database.
  2. I've made another basic RESTful API which will be invoked to get the results calculated by the Python app.

My questions:

  1. Can I host a RESTful API on Heroku for free? I will be invoking the API less than 10 times per month.
  2. Does Heroku support me with a database to store some 5000 records with 5-10 columns?

    I tested up to 940 records, no more.
