Contractbook Rate Limits

Contractbook does not publish fixed numeric rate limits for its Public API v3. API access is sold as a plan add-on subject to 'fair usage limits', and effective throughput is bounded by plan-level contract-volume and template allowances (for example, signed-contracts-per-year caps on each subscription tier) rather than a documented per-minute request cap. Webhook delivery for document life-cycle events is asynchronous with automated retries, so notifications may arrive more than once, delayed, or out of order.

Contractbook Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Contractbook on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, contracts, templates, and notifications.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Contract Management, CLM, Contract Lifecycle, Legal, and eSignature.

Limits

Public API Requests account
requests
not published (fair usage)
No fixed numeric request-rate limit is documented; API access is a fair-usage add-on.
Signed Contracts account
contracts
per plan (e.g. 100/350/500 per year)
Plan-level annual signed-contract allowance effectively bounds contract creation volume.
Templates account
templates
per plan (e.g. 5/15/25)
Number of templates available is capped by subscription tier.
Webhook Delivery endpoint
notifications
asynchronous with retries
Document life-cycle webhooks are delivered asynchronously and may duplicate, delay, or reorder.

Policies

Fair Usage
API access add-on is governed by fair-usage limits rather than a published numeric quota.
Webhook Verification
After receiving a webhook, confirm document state via an authenticated GET /documents/{id} call to guard against spoofed or duplicate notifications.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on any 429 responses.
