Rate limits
Rate limits cap how many requests your team can make per minute, while concurrency limits cap how many jobs can run in parallel. Both are set by your plan; exceeding either returns a 429 response. Per-plan rate limits (req/min): Free — /scrape:10, /map:10, /crawl:1, /search:5, /agent:10, 2 concurrent browsers; Hobby — /scrape:100, /map:100, /crawl:15, /search:50, /agent:100, 5 concurrent browsers; Standard — /scrape:500, /map:500, /crawl:50, /search:250, /agent:500, 50 concurrent browsers; Growth — /scrape:5000, /map:5000, /crawl:250, /search:2500, /agent:1000, 100 concurrent browsers; Scale — /scrape:7500, /map:7500, /crawl:750, /search:7500, /agent:1000, 150 concurrent browsers. Rate limits are applied per team, so all API keys on the same team share the same rate limit counters. [23]
Known restrictions
We currently do not offer a pay-per-use plan, Credits do not roll over to the next month (except auto-recharge credits and custom Scale/Enterprise annual plans), Files exceeding 10MB receive SCRAPE_UNSUPPORTED_FILE_ERROR, timeout parameter can be increased up to 60000ms; pages taking longer receive SCRAPE_TIMEOUT (408) error, FIRE-1 agent requests are always billed, even if the request fails, Rate limits are applied per team, so all API keys on the same team share the same rate limit counters, Zero Data Retention (ZDR) cannot be used with features that require temporary storage (e.g. screenshots), causing SCRAPE_ZDR_VIOLATION_ERROR, Jobs waiting in the concurrency queue will time out after a maximum of 48 hours [24]
