Indeed Rate Limits

Indeed does not publish per-second / per-minute rate-limit numbers on its public partner documentation. Limits are negotiated as part of the Indeed Partner agreement and tuned per integration type (job sync, disposition sync, apply). Job feeds typically use scheduled XML ingestion rather than high-frequency request traffic.

Policies

Backoff Strategy

Clients receiving 429 or 503 should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After when present.

Feed Ingestion

Job feeds are typically ingested on a schedule (hourly / multi-hour) rather than per-job pushes; align update cadence to Indeed's documented partner ingestion intervals.

Fair Use

Indeed reserves the right to throttle traffic that materially impacts shared infrastructure or violates the Indeed Partner agreement.
