Hey guys, I'm enriching companies using my Apollo API key but it has a limit of 400 requests per hour. Any workaround for this?

    not as far as I could work out. apart from maybe talking with Apollo and paying for more access this is all you can do. and without being able to automate the enrichment to run on a timer, it can become a real pain.

    Itโ€™s a bit scrappy, and there might be a better way but you can put all the companies you want enriching in a Google sheet and then send X rows to Clay via Webhook (I use Make.com for this) every hour for enrichment. My Apollo limits are 200 per minute/400 per hour/2000 a day so I send 83 rows per hour to Clay for Apollo enrichment so I can get ~2000 rows enriched a day.

    Mahmuda C. I believe you can rate limit the API calls in clay

    Yep or just set an alarm for every hour and hit run. Someone recommended Airscale the other day as a workaround but I've not tried it yet. I have also exported as CSV and uploaded to Apollo in the past and then exported from Apollo back into Clay. So silly.
