API Rate Limit Increase for Service

API Issues
#1

Hi,

I am working on a service that utilises realtime information from the Companies House API. As the service gains users, the rate limit of 600 requests per 5 minutes is likely to impact the service and become an issue.

Are there any options to significantly increase the rate limit for the service? For example, a per user rate limit rather than the current, per application rate limit would be useful to guarantee consistent functionality of the service.

Kind Regards,

Harry Radford

Hi @harry_radford , I am working on something very similar. I emailed the enquiries email address for companies house and they doubled my limit for that api key to 1200 per 5 minuets.

I still do have a concern that this might not be enough and will eventually have to turn to bulk downloads.

Thankyou

Emma
