Api call limit

Hi,

Is there limits on calling worldcheck api ?

because I tried multiple calls (about 200 call) and every time I get some cases that could not be updated or added.

Example of cases not updated : 000010

  • Hi @khouloud.ismail ,

    Thanks for reaching out to us !

    We recommend a max of 5 API calls/second but our platform can handle more provided you perform adequate testing to see how your integration behaves with our platform because the max number depends on a lot of factors like the kind of names being screened which has a direct impact on the amount of data being returned e.g. common names like John Smith would return more data, the number of network hops between your systems and our servers. So you can send more than 5 API calls/second but you have to perform a good amount of testing and sort of deriving how many API calls can your system send to World-Check One API.

    For more information you can refer to this below URL.
