# API Usage & Limits

### Data Retrieval Limits

* **Maximum Records per Page:** Each API response is limited to a maximum of **250 records** per page.
* **Pagination:** If a request exceeds 100 records, the `page_size` parameter should be used to specify the total number of records the user wishes to receive.

### Credit Consumption (Unlock vs. Search)

| API Type   | Credit Consumption      | Details                                                                     |
| :--------- | :---------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Search** | **0 credits**           | This API is free to use.                                                    |
| **Unlock** | **1 credit per record** | Credits are deducted only when using the **Unlock API** for data retrieval. |

* **Credit Requirement:** The Unlock API will return records only if the user has **sufficient credits** available in their account.

## Rate Limits

To ensure fair usage and maintain system stability, the Factori API enforces rate limits and throttling. Currently, the platform supports up to *200 requests/minute* with a 60 second cool off period. It is essential to consider these limits while designing your application and handling high-volume requests.
