# Rate Limits

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

## Per-endpoint limits

| **Domain search**       | 50 requests/second                          |
| :---------------------- | :------------------------------------------ |
| **Domain registration** | 10 requests/second                          |
| **All other endpoints** | 10 requests/second                          |
| **Burst allowance**     | Up to 2x the per-second limit for 5 seconds |

## Response headers

| **X-RateLimit-Limit**     | Max requests per window.                  |
| :------------------------ | :---------------------------------------- |
| **X-RateLimit-Remaining** | Requests remaining in the current window. |
| **X-RateLimit-Reset**     | Unix timestamp when the window resets.    |
| **Retry-After**           | Seconds 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?

Contact your partner manager or email [partner@namify.tech](mailto:partner@namify.tech) before high-traffic events (product launches, promotions). We can temporarily raise limits with advance notice.
