API Rate Limits

Rate Limiting

LegalServer rate limits the User Interface at the standard rate of 200 requests per minute averaged over the last two minutes to prevent abuse and maintain our servers. A similar rate limit has been implemented for the Core APIs generally.

The current default limit is 200 requests per minute checked every ten seconds. API Responses  include headers for x-rate-limit-limit  , x-rate-limit-remaining   and x-rate-limit-reset . x-rate-limit-reset   returns the epoch time when the rate limit rests. Rate Limit errors will result in a Error 429 response of Too Many Requests .

Rate limit increases will be considered on a case-by-case basis. There may be an additional cost for the rate limit increases.
