Policies

Plan-Based Volumes
Specific request volumes depend on the subscription plan; higher-tier plans allow greater request volumes and more frequent access.
Pagination by Date Range
Work within the 10,000-row historical and 1,000-row calendar caps by slicing requests into date ranges.
Backoff Strategy
Stay under 2 requests per second; implement client-side spacing and retry with backoff on throttle responses.
