Apify Rate Limits

Overview

The Apify API enforces rate limits per resource. The apify-client library auto-retries 429s (up to 8 times with exponential backoff), so most workloads never notice a limit. You reach for this skill when bulk operations, custom API calls, or large fan-outs push past what the built-in retry can absorb — you then batch, queue, stagger, and monitor to stay under the ceiling.

Full runnable code for every step is in implementation.md; combined scenarios are in examples.md.
