Apollo Io Rate Limits

Apollo.io applies request-rate limits per minute, per hour, and per day, scaled by plan tier (Basic / Professional / Organization). Search and enrichment endpoints additionally consume credits from a separate per-workspace monthly pool. When the request rate or credit pool is exhausted Apollo returns HTTP 429.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Exponential backoff with jitter on 429. Inspect the x-rate-limit-* headers (minute / hour / day) for current usage.
Bulk Where Possible
Use bulk enrichment endpoints (up to 10 records) instead of single- record calls to lower per-record credit cost and round-trip count.
Credit Telemetry
Read the API Usage endpoint to monitor remaining credits and throttle in-app workloads accordingly.
