# Rate Limits

API rate limits define how many requests a user or application can make to an API within a specific time period. These limits help ensure fair usage and maintain performance across the platform. Rate limits can vary depending on the category or processing level. Always check the rate limit details for each endpoint and product level to optimize your usage and avoid interruptions.
