LegiScan · Rate Limits

Legiscan Rate Limits

LegiScan rate limits are enforced per API key on a monthly query quota basis. The free Public tier is capped at 30,000 queries per month. Paid Pull subscription tiers provide between 100,000 and 250,000+ queries per month depending on the plan. Push subscriptions are not query-limited in the same way — updates are event-driven and delivered to the client endpoint at a cadence of every 15 minutes to 4 hours. The Microsoft Power Platform connector enforces an additional throttle of 100 calls per 60 seconds per connection.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring api_call.

The profile also includes 4 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Legislative Data, and Government.

Policies

Monthly quota reset
Query counts reset monthly. Public keys are capped at 30,000 queries to mirror the OneVote public tracking service. Exceeding the quota requires upgrading to a paid Pull subscription.
Key-based enforcement
Rate limits are enforced per API key. Each key is associated with a LegiScan account and its subscription tier determines the monthly limit.
Push delivery cadence
Push API subscriptions deliver updates to client endpoints on a 15-minute to 4-hour schedule as legislative changes are detected. There is no per-request rate limit for push delivery — the cadence is controlled by LegiScan's detection and delivery schedule.
Data update frequencies
Individual operations have their own underlying data update frequencies: getSessionList updates daily; getMasterList updates hourly; getBill updates every 3 hours; getPerson updates weekly; getBillText, getAmendment, getSupplement, and getRollCall are static once published.
