Ocean Io Rate Limits

Ocean.io publishes explicit request rate limits for self-serve customers — 60 requests per minute and 1,000 requests per day — on its API documentation. Enterprise customers get higher limits defined in their subscription agreement, which are not published. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header and X-RateLimit-Limit. The remaining daily allowance is readable at runtime from the dailyLimitRateLeft field on the Get Credit Balance endpoint. Rate limits are separate from the credit pool, which meters results returned rather than requests made.

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

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, results, and records.

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

Tagged areas include Sales Intelligence, B2B, Enrichment, Lookalike, and ABM.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Do not retry immediately on 429. Honour Retry-After and use exponential backoff; Ocean.io publishes bash, Python and JavaScript backoff implementations on the rate-limiting page.
Pre-flight check
Check dailyLimitRateLeft via Get Credit Balance before starting large batch jobs.
Request shaping
Use size to request only the results needed, use fields to trim the payload, and spread large batch operations over time rather than bursting.
