Rate Limits

Summary

The Sayari API employs a point-based rate limiting system to ensure reliable access and maintain performance. Each API request consumes a certain number of points, with a maximum limit of 60 points per second or 3,400 points per minute.

Note: Sayari reserves the right to reduce rate limits to account for surges in activity in order to maintain platform stability
