# Rate Limits

## Overview

Apollo API rate limits determine how many requests your team can send within a specific period. Your limits depend on your Apollo plan and the type of endpoint you call.

Apollo applies separate rate limits to:

* API enrichment endpoints
* All other API endpoints

> 📘 Plan Accordingly
>
> The following rate limits apply to current Apollo plans. If your team uses a legacy plan, your limits may differ. Check your plan details in Apollo or call the [view API usage stats and rate limits](https://docs.apollo.io/reference/view-api-usage-stats) endpoint to confirm the limits for your team.

## Rate Limits by Plan

Apollo applies different rate limits based on the type of endpoint you call:

* **API enrichment endpoints** retrieve or enrich person and company data from Apollo's database. This includes people enrichment, bulk people enrichment, organization enrichment, and bulk organization enrichment.
* **All other API endpoints** include search, record management, engagement, analytics, usage, and other public API operations.

### API Enrichment

| Rate Limit          | Free | Basic           | Organization    | Professional    |
| :------------------ | :--- | :-------------- | :-------------- | :-------------- |
| Requests per minute | 50   | 1,000           | 1,000           | 1,000           |
| Requests per hour   | 200  | No hourly limit | No hourly limit | No hourly limit |
| Requests per day    | 600  | No daily limit  | No daily limit  | No daily limit  |

### All Other APIs

| Rate Limit          | Free   | Basic | Organization | Professional    |
| :------------------ | :----- | :---- | :----------- | :-------------- |
| Requests per minute | 1–50   | 200   | 200          | 200 or custom   |
| Requests per hour   | 20–200 | 400   | 400          | 600 or custom   |
| Requests per day    | 50–600 | 2,000 | 2,000        | 6,000 or custom |

Limits shown as a range can vary based on the specific free or trial plan assigned to your team. Professional plans may include custom limits.

## Check Your Team's Rate Limits

To retrieve the rate limits currently assigned to your team, call the [view API usage stats and rate limits](https://docs.apollo.io/reference/view-api-usage-stats) endpoint.

The response includes usage and limit information for individual API routes. Use the endpoint response as the source of truth when:

* Your team uses a legacy plan
* You need to check remaining API capacity
* You need endpoint-specific limit information

## How Rate Limits Work

Apollo uses fixed time windows for API rate limits.

For example, if your team can send 200 requests per minute, you can send those requests at any point within the active 60-second window. When the next window begins, the request count resets.

You must stay within every limit that applies to the endpoint. For example, an endpoint may have separate per-minute, per-hour, and per-day limits. Reaching any one of those limits prevents additional requests until the corresponding window resets.
