Rate Limits
Rate limits for the Dropcontact API and how to handle them.
You are limited to 60 requests per second.
If you hit the API with too many requests in a given amount of time, subsequent requests will temporarily fail.
If your client gets rate-limited, you will start receiving 429 Too Many Requests HTTP errors in response to your requests.
Other limits
- Up to 250 records per request.
- Up to 15 kB of data per record,

Fetching results
To fetch a result, send the same request again every 30 seconds until it is ready. To make fewer calls, use webhooks: the result is sent to your server as soon as it is ready.
See Errors for what to do when you receive a 429 error.
