# Rate limits

> Understanding API rate limits and how to handle them.

The SureFeedback API enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and platform stability.

## Limits

| Scope         | Limit                 |
| ------------- | --------------------- |
| Per user (IP) | 200 requests / hour   |
| Site-wide     | 1,000 requests / hour |

## Rate limit response

When you exceed the limit, the API returns a `429` status:

```json theme={null}
{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Too many requests. Please try again later."
}
```

## Best practices

* Cache responses locally when possible
* Use webhook subscriptions instead of polling for real-time updates
* Batch operations where the API supports array inputs (e.g., page approval status checks support up to 100 URLs per request)
