Rate limits protect the platform and ensure fair usage. Limits are per API key.

​
Per-endpoint limits

Domain search50 requests/second
Domain registration10 requests/second
All other endpoints10 requests/second
Burst allowanceUp to 2x the per-second limit for 5 seconds

​
Response headers

X-RateLimit-LimitMax requests per window.
X-RateLimit-RemainingRequests remaining in the current window.
X-RateLimit-ResetUnix timestamp when the window resets.
Retry-AfterSeconds to wait (only on 429 responses).

​
Handling 429

When you receive a 429 Too Many Requests, stop sending requests and wait for the number of seconds in the Retry-After header. Implement exponential backoff with jitter to avoid thundering-herd problems when your rate limit resets.

Need higher limits?
