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 rate-limit profile for Screaming Frog on the APIs.io network.

The provider publishes no rate limits that could be read; the profile records that absence rather than inventing a ceiling.

Tagged areas include SEO, Website Crawler, and Rate Limiting.
