Rate Limits

Rate limits are enforced per API key to ensure fair usage of the API and maintain service stability.

All rate limits are calculated on a per-minute basis and reset automatically at the start of each window.

Rate Limit Overview

Default Limits

60 requests per minute per API key
Batch operations count as multiple requests
Rolling window reset

Batch Operations

Each item in a batch counts as one request:

Uploading 10 files = 10 requests
Processing 5 statements = 5 requests

Rate Limit Headers

The API includes rate limit information in the response headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 45
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1704624000

X-RateLimit-Limit: Maximum requests allowed per minute
X-RateLimit-Remaining: Number of requests remaining in the current window
X-RateLimit-Reset: Unix timestamp when the rate limit will reset

Handling Rate Limits

Best Practices

Implement Exponential Backoff

When rate limited, use exponential backoff to prevent overwhelming the API:

function sleep(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

async function makeRequest(retries = 3) {
  for (let i = 0; i < retries; i++) {
    try {
      return await apiRequest();
    } catch (error) {
      if (error.code !== 'RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED') throw error;
      await sleep(Math.pow(2, i) * 1000);
    }
  }
}

Batch Processing

Group multiple items into single requests:

// Instead of multiple single uploads
const files = ['doc1.pdf', 'doc2.pdf', 'doc3.pdf'];
const formData = new FormData();
files.forEach(file => formData.append('files', file));

// Single batch upload
await api.upload(formData);
