Rate Limiting

Learn how rate limiting works with The Companies API.

The Companies API applies rate limits to ensure fair usage and maintain optimal system performance.

Each plan comes with a defined limit on the number of API requests you can make per second (RPS).

  • Startup plan -> 50 requests/second
  • Scaleup plan -> 250 requests/second
  • Enterprise plan -> 1,000 requests/second

If you exceed your rate limit, your requests will temporarily be blocked with a 429 Too Many Requests response.

You can retry after a short delay.
