Rate limits

API requests are capped per minute, separately from your credit balance. When the rate limit trips, calls return 429 rate_limited.

For credit costs and plan tiers, see Pricing.

Per-minute limits

Plan	Rate limit (req/min)
Free	20
Monthly	200
Annual	300
Enterprise	custom

The window is sliding — based on the last 60 seconds, not a calendar minute.

429 response

{ "error": { "code": "rate_limited",
             "message": "Rate limit exceeded for plan 'monthly' (200/min)",
             "request_id": "..." } }

Handling 429

• Back off with exponential jitter. Don’t retry faster than once every 2 seconds.
• Use async + webhooks for any batch over ~50 — sync calls have a 5-min ceiling.
• Cache aggressively on your side for static fields (zpid, address, year built) so you don’t burn your rate limit re-fetching the same property.
