# Rate limits

> Request, daily, and monthly search-row limits for the API.

API access is paid-plan gated and constrained by conservative request and row limits.

| Limit                             |  Default |
| --------------------------------- | -------: |
| Requests per minute               |     `60` |
| Requests per day                  |  `5,000` |
| Search rows per account per month | `25,000` |

Higher limits can be configured for Business and Enterprise accounts.

## Search rows

Rows returned by store and contact search endpoints count against the monthly search-row quota.

Use `GET /usage` to check current quota state before a large workflow.

```bash theme={null}
curl https://storeinspect.com/api/v1/usage \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STOREINSPECT_API_KEY"
```

## Rate-limit errors

When a quota or rate limit is exceeded, the API returns a structured `429` response.

```json theme={null}
{
  "error": {
    "type": "rate_limit_error",
    "code": "rate_limit_exceeded",
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded.",
    "request_id": "req_abc123"
  }
}
```
