Diffbot Rate Limits

Published rate limits for the Diffbot API estate. Limits are enforced per plan and apply per token. Diffbot notes that some enterprise plans carry custom limits not shown here.

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

It captures 12 rate-limit definitions, across the free, startup, plus, and enterprise tiers, measuring requests_per_minute, requests_per_second, calls_per_month, entities_per_month, and active_jobs.

Limit state is signalled in the limit, remaining, reset, and retryAfter response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, siteThrottled, and note.

Tagged areas include Extraction, Harvesting, Scraping, Web, and Rate Limiting.
