Pdf Co Rate Limits

Reconciled rate limits and quota policies for the PDF.co Web API. PDF.co enforces a credit-based monthly quota rather than a public per-second RPS ceiling; concurrency limits scale with plan tier and large/long-running operations should use async mode with /v1/job/check polling.

Pdf Co Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for PDF.co on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

The profile also includes 5 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled and quotaExceeded.

Tagged areas include PDF, Quotas, Credits, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Credit-based metering
Each endpoint consumes a documented credit cost depending on operation type, file size, page count, and OCR/AI usage. Track usage via /v1/account/credit/balance.
Monthly quota reset
Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle and do not roll over.
Async-first for heavy ops
Run AI Invoice Parser, OCR, classifier, large conversions, and multi-page operations with async=true to avoid request timeouts.
Webhook callbacks
Provide a `callback` URL on async requests to receive job-completion notifications instead of polling.
HTTPS-only
All requests must use HTTPS; the x-api-key header must accompany every call.
