# Rate limits

> Understand request and search-row limits.

API access is paid-plan gated and constrained by request, daily, and monthly search-row limits.

Default V1 limits are conservative:

| 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

Store and contact search responses count returned rows against the monthly search-row quota.

`GET /usage` returns the current quota state:

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

## Broad search guardrails

Search endpoints require positive narrowing filters. The API is intended for focused ICP searches, not full database export.

Use filters such as country, category, traffic tier, app usage, missing app, pixel, theme, Shopify Plus, Meta ads, contact role, or revealable-contact availability.

<Warning>
  The API should not be used to crawl, resell, or reconstruct the StoreInspect database.
