# Rate limits

A rate limit is the number of API calls an app or user can make within a given time period.

The current default rate limits are:

* For `GET` requests — 300.0 per 5.0 seconds.
* For `POST` requests — 50.0 per 5.0 seconds.

You can call API endpoints using a script on your server to perform bulk requests with a large number of applicants. In this case, make sure not to exceed the rate limits specified above.

  ### Note

  We can increase rate limits upon request. Contact our support team with your use case and explain why an increase is required.
