API rate limit
Quick answer
A cap on how many requests a program can make to a software service in a given time.

Planning around them, through batching or vendor-provided bulk exports, is part of extracting multi-year records.
Why API rate limit matters when licensing company data to AI
API rate limit caps how many requests a program can make to a software service in a given time. Rate limits protect services but make large historical exports slow. Planning around them, through batching or vendor-provided bulk exports, is part of extracting multi-year records for a dataset, and it adds time to the licensing timeline.
