Rate Limits

The RentCast API has a rate limit of 20 requests per second.

Our API has a hard limit of 20 requests per second, per API key, regardless of your billing or subscription plan.

If you exceed this limit, you will receive an error with a 429 HTTP status code and the following body:

{
  "status": 429,
  "error": "auth/rate-limit-exceeded",
  "message": "The rate limit of 20 requests per second has been exceeded"
}

We recommend creating separate API keys for each of your applications, integrations or environments, and throttling your requests to stay within this rate limit.

If your application requires a higher sustained request rate, you can create multiple API keys for different applications, services or workloads. Contact us if you need help planning a higher-volume integration.
