429 Too many requests

API Question
1

Hi. Would it be possible to increase the maximum number of API requests per 5 minutes for my application?

Yes, potentially. First though, we’d like to understand your application and why you need a higher rate in case one of our other products may be more suitable.

I will DM you to arrange a discussion.

Hi Robert,

We have the same issue with reaching rate limit and getting back 429 Too many requests when we’re looking up companies with rich director and insolvency history.

I would like to understand if we could have the rate limit increased.

Thanks,
Ruta
