API Rate Limits

Every API plan includes generous rate limits with burst allowance. Here's how they work and how to handle them gracefully.

Rate Limit

Requests per minute window

Daily Quota

Total requests per 24-hour period

Burst Limit

Maximum concurrent requests per second

429 Handling

Retry-After header tells you when to retry

Plan	Rate Limit	Daily Quota	Burst	Concurrent
Free	60 requests/min	1,000/day	10 req/sec	5
Pro	600 requests/min	50,000/day	50 req/sec	25
Business	3,000 requests/min	500,000/day	200 req/sec	100
Enterprise	Custom	Unlimited	Custom	Custom
