Fiscalnote Rate Limits

FiscalNote does not publish numeric API rate limits. API access is bundled into enterprise subscriptions and throttling is set per customer agreement. Standard 429/503 conventions are expected; specifics are provided to customers in API onboarding documentation.

Policies

Backoff Strategy

Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429/5xx; honor Retry-After when present.

Bulk vs Real-time

Bulk export endpoints typically have lower per-second limits than the read APIs; coordinate large extracts with the FiscalNote account team.

Subscription-Bound Access

API keys are tied to a specific customer subscription tier; revoking the subscription deauthorizes API access.
