Rate Limits

Limits by tier

Rate limit responses

When you exceed a limit, the API returns an error:

{
  "status": "error",
  "message": "Rate limit exceeded. Please try again later."
}

Best practices

• Cache responses. Restaurant data changes infrequently. Cache lookup_restaurant results for at least an hour.
• Use the cheapest tool first. Use find_restaurant or search_restaurants (free) to get IDs, then lookup_restaurant for details on specific restaurants.
• Batch wisely. If you need details on multiple restaurants, make individual lookup_restaurant calls rather than broad search_restaurants queries.
