Hi; how can I increase my rate limit for the companies house API?Currently its 600/5 minutes
Hello,
The rate limits are in place to ensure the stability and reliability of the platform. These rate limits should be built into your application as returning errors is a huge overhead on the service, and our Support Teams will manually ban IPs that are constantly bombarding the service causing degradation for all users.
As regards increases, we are very limited in what we can offer, the most being a doubling of the current API rate (due to the popularity of the service concerned).
However, we can only offer that in certain situations.
For us to consider your request further, can you please respond with details of which API services you use, along with a detailed description of your business model, to xml@companieshouse.gov.uk
