Peopledatalabs Rate Limits

People Data Labs applies per-API-key rate limits using a fixed-window strategy measured over a 60-second window. Limits vary by endpoint and by account type (free/self-serve versus paying/enterprise). Each response carries rate-limit headers; once x-ratelimit-remaining reaches zero, further requests return HTTP 429 until the window resets. These per-minute request limits are separate from the monthly credit allowances that govern how many records you can match.

Peopledatalabs Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for People Data Labs on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 7 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

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

Tagged areas include Data Enrichment, Person Data, Company Data, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Policies

Fixed Window
Limits reset on a fixed 60-second window; calls may be made at any interval within the window until exhausted.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should read the x-ratelimit-remaining header and implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses.
Limit Increases
Per-minute limits can be raised on paid and enterprise plans by contacting People Data Labs.
