# API Rate Limits

# API Rate Limits
Prospeo's API rate limits are split into two categories: **Search endpoints** and **Enrich endpoints**. 

Each category has its own limits based on your plan. 
### Search Endpoints
Applies to: `/search-person`, `/search-company`
| Plan | Per Second | Per Minute | Per Day |
| ---- |
| Free | 1 | 20 | 50 |
| Starter | 1 | 30 | 1,000 |
| Growth | 2 | 60 | 4,000 |
| Pro | 5 | 180 | 250,000 |
Costs 1 credit per search request that returns at least one result (up to 25 results per page, no contact info).
### Enrich Endpoints
Applies to: `/enrich-person`, `/enrich-company`, `/bulk-enrich-person`, `/bulk-enrich-company`
| Plan | Per Second | Per Minute | Per Day |
| ---- |
| Free | 1 | 20 | 50 |
| Starter | 5 | 300 | 2,000 |
| Growth | 5 | 300 | 5,000 |
| Pro | 30 | 1,800 | 500,000 |
Costs 1 credit per matched record. The `/bulk-enrich` endpoints use **one request per submitted record** toward the rate limit.
### How Rate Limits Reset
* **Daily limits** reset on a rolling 24-hour window — not at a fixed time like midnight UTC. Each request falls off the count exactly 24 hours after it was made.
* **Failed requests** do not count toward the limit. Only successful requests are counted.
* When the limit is reached, the API returns a `429 RATE_LIMITED` error.
### FAQs
**How can I view my current rate limits?**
Go to your API Management dashboard at [app.prospeo.io/api](https://app.prospeo.io/api). Your current per-second, per-minute, and per-day limits for both Search and Enrich endpoints are displayed in real time.

**Can I get higher API rate limits?**
Yes. Upgrading your plan automatically increases your rate limits. If you're already on Pro and need higher limits, contact [Prospeo Support](https://help.prospeo.io/en/article/get-help-with-prospeo-support-6v4sfr/) to discuss custom rate limit options.

**Why am I capped at 5 requests/sec on the Search endpoint even on Pro?**
Search endpoints have lower rate limits than Enrich endpoints across all plans. This is by design to maintain infrastructure performance. The Pro plan's Search limit is 5/second, 180/minute, and 250,000/day.

**If I call `/bulk-enrich-person` with 50 profiles, does the rate limit increase by 50 or 1?**
The `/bulk-enrich` endpoints count one request per submitted record, not per API call. A single call with 50 profiles increases your rate limit count by 50.

**Do I get charged for requests that hit the rate limit?**
No. Rate-limited requests return a `429` error and do not consume credits.
