Auto Dev Rate Limits

Auto.dev enforces a per-second request rate limit that scales with the account plan: Starter is limited to 5 requests/second, Growth to 10 requests/second, and Scale to 50 requests/second. The Starter tier also caps included usage at 1,000 API calls per month, after which access is limited; Growth and Scale have no cap on call volume. The listings endpoint additionally caps results per page by plan (Starter 20, Growth 100, Scale 500).

Auto Dev Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Auto.dev on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.
