Rate Limits

Rate limits protect the API from excessive usage and ensure fair access for all consumers.

Current Limits

EndpointLimit
POST /api/v1/search/query60 requests / minute (default)
Other endpointsVaries by endpoint

Search and tool calls share one per-organization requests/minute budget. The default is 60; your organization may have a custom limit — contact support to adjust it.

Response Headers

Every response includes rate limit headers so you can track your usage:

X-RateLimit-Limit : Maximum requests allowed per window.

X-RateLimit-Remaining : Requests remaining in the current window.

X-RateLimit-Reset : Unix timestamp when the window resets.

Exceeding the Limit

When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header:

Best Practices

  • Respect Retry-After: wait the indicated time before retrying.
  • Use exponential backoff: on repeated 429s, double your wait time between retries.
  • Cache results: avoid redundant requests for the same query.
  • Monitor your usage: check X-RateLimit-Remaining to proactively throttle before hitting limits.
