Cb Insights Rate Limits
CB Insights publishes one rate limit that applies across all API calls, plus a separate, independent credit-consumption meter that is the real constraint on usage. The rate limit is a hard 100 requests per rolling one-second window; every data endpoint returns three IETF-style ratelimit-* headers so a client can self-pace. Exceeding it returns 429. The credit ledger is orthogonal — a call inside the rate limit still fails with 424 if the account has no credits left.
Cb Insights Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for CB Insights on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.
It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring requests_per_second.
Limit state is signalled in the limit, remaining, reset, and creditsConsumed response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.
The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled and creditExhausted.
Tagged areas include Rate Limiting and Market Intelligence.
