Rate Limit

Rate Limit

Concepts

Rate limit is a cap on how many requests or operations you can make in a given time period (e.g., requests per minute or documents per hour). DocLD and underlying services enforce rate limits to ensure fair usage and system stability. Exceeding limits typically returns HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests).

Impact

Throughput — Rate limits cap maximum throughput for API calls
Batch processing — Large batches may be throttled; workflows can pace requests
Retries — Requests that fail due to rate limits can be retried with backoff

Rate limits and quotas vary by plan. Check your plan limits in the dashboard.

Related Concepts

Rate limits constrain API usage and throughput. Batch processing and workflows can help stay within limits. Idempotency makes retries safe when limits cause transient failures.

Frequently Asked Questions

A rate limit caps how many requests or operations you can make per time period. Exceeding limits typically returns HTTP 429. All API keys use a standard throughput; usage is tracked by credits.

Large batches may be throttled. Use workflows to pace requests, and handle 429s with retry and backoff. Idempotency makes retries safe.

Typically 429 Too Many Requests. The response may include Retry-After or headers indicating when to retry.

Rate limits are per API key. All keys share the same standard throughput; usage is tracked by credits. Check the dashboard for usage and limits.

Space out requests, use batch endpoints where available, and implement exponential backoff on 429. Use webhooks so you do not poll too often.

Yes. Heavier operations (e.g., extraction, upload) may have different limits than read-only endpoints. See the API reference.

Contact support if you need custom rate limits. Usage is tracked by credits for all keys.

Check the DocLD API reference and dashboard for the standard rate limit and credit usage.

Rate limit caps requests per time window (e.g., per minute). Quota caps total usage (e.g., documents per month). Both can trigger 429 or blocking.

See the DocLD documentation and glossary for details, and check the API reference for related endpoints and options.
