Rate Limits - NeevLegal

Rate Limit Headers

Every response includes these headers:

Header	Description
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	Maximum requests allowed in the current window
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	Requests remaining in the current window
`X-RateLimit-Reset`	Unix timestamp when the current window resets
`Retry-After`	Seconds to wait before retrying (present only on `429` responses)

Handling 429 Responses

{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Too many requests. Please slow down.",
  "moreInfo": "Rate limit exceeded. Retry after 37 seconds."
}

Read the Retry-After header and wait at least that many seconds before retrying. Do not immediately re-send — repeated fast retries prolong the backoff window.
