# Rate Limits

> API rate limiting information

API requests are rate limited to ensure fair usage and platform stability.

## Default Limits

| Scope       | Limit          | Window     |
| ----------- | -------------- | ---------- |
| Per API key | 1,000 requests | 60 seconds |

Rate limits are applied **per API key** (bot). Each API key you create has its own separate limit.

## Rate Limit Response

When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns a `429 Too Many Requests` response. Wait until the current window resets before retrying.

## Best Practices

* Implement exponential backoff when receiving 429 responses
* Cache responses where possible to reduce API calls
* Batch operations when the API supports it

## Custom Limits

Enterprise customers may request custom rate limits for specific use cases. Contact support to discuss your requirements.

<Warning>
  Zenzap reserves the right to adjust rate limits at any time to prevent abuse or ensure platform stability. Accounts exhibiting abusive behavior may have their limits reduced or access revoked.
