Screaming Frog Rate Limits
Screaming Frog publishes no API rate limits, because it publishes no API. The SEO Spider and Log File Analyser are desktop applications; their automation surfaces (the CLI and the v24 MCP server) run locally against the user's own machine and are not metered, throttled or served over the network. This file REPLACES a 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that invented X-RateLimit-* headers, 429 semantics and free/professional/enterprise requests-per-minute ceilings none of which Screaming Frog has ever published.
Screaming Frog Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Screaming Frog on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.
Tagged areas include SEO, Website Crawler, and Rate Limiting.
