Indeed Rate Limits

Indeed does not publish per-second / per-minute rate-limit numbers on its public partner documentation. Limits are negotiated as part of the Indeed Partner agreement and tuned per integration type (job sync, disposition sync, apply). Job feeds typically use scheduled XML ingestion rather than high-frequency request traffic.

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

It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring varies.

An exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

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

Tagged areas include Careers, Employment, Hiring, Job Search, and Recruiting.

Limits

Partner API throughput partner
varies
governed by Indeed Partner agreement; typically scheduled feed ingestion rather than per-second TPS

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients receiving 429 or 503 should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After when present.
Feed Ingestion
Job feeds are typically ingested on a schedule (hourly / multi-hour) rather than per-job pushes; align update cadence to Indeed's documented partner ingestion intervals.
Fair Use
Indeed reserves the right to throttle traffic that materially impacts shared infrastructure or violates the Indeed Partner agreement.
