Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429/5xx; honor Retry-After when present.
Bulk vs Real-time
Bulk export endpoints typically have lower per-second limits than the read APIs; coordinate large extracts with the FiscalNote account team.
Subscription-Bound Access
API keys are tied to a specific customer subscription tier; revoking the subscription deauthorizes API access.
