Rate limits help ensure that the API stays fast and available for everyone. Rate limits prevent any single user or accidental spike in traffic from slowing things down for others.

​
Maximum Pages per Hour

Rate limits apply per pricing plan and are the same for both ADE Parse and ADE Parse Jobs endpoints. Higher pricing plans have increased rate limits to support larger processing volumes. Hourly rate limits are distributed per minute to ensure consistent API performance for all users. This distribution means your requests are processed evenly throughout the hour rather than all at once. Rate limits apply at the organization level. All requests from any user or API key within your organization count toward the same limit.

​
Maximum Pages per Document

The maximum number of pages you can parse in a single PDF depends on the API endpoint and parsing method. The table below shows the page limits for each combination.
