To resolve API call limitation errors for Apollo enrichment in Clay, you have a few options: 1. Rate limiting: You can set up rate limiting in Clay to stay within Apollo's limits (400 requests per hour, 2000 per day). 2. Batch processing: Break your enrichment tasks into smaller batches and process them over time. For example, send 83 rows per hour to stay within the daily limit. 3. Manual runs: Set an alarm every hour and manually run the enrichment process. 4. API key permissions: Verify that your Apollo API key has proper access and permissions for the enrich endpoint. 5. Upgrade API access: Consider talking to Apollo about upgrading your plan for increased API limits. If you need further assistance, you can request human help by clicking on "Talk to a person" in this chat.

Hi Michael, thank you for reaching out. Are you using your own API key or the Clay API key to access these Apollo enrichments?
Hi Stefano I am using my own API key
Hi Michael, Just to clarify, rate limits are restrictions set by Apollo to control how many requests can be made within a certain time frame. They help ensure system stability and fair usage across users. In this case, you'll need to either wait a bit before re-running your enrichment or reach out to Apollo support to request an increase in your rate limits. Let me know if you need help getting in touch with them!
Okay thank you Stefano both of these solutions are good to note. I have reached out to Apollo about rate limit increases and will keep the re-running process in mind
Yeah, Apollo’s API does have those pesky rate limits. If you’re trying to enrich at scale, one workaround is to scrape and enrich outside Apollo first some folks use tools like enrichminion.com to grab emails and phones before pushing into Apollo or Clay. It helps skip the API bottlenecks without losing data quality.It saves a ton of headache.
Hey, Unfortunately, the only way to get around the API call limit with Apollo is by upgrading to a higher plan. Some users have also shared workarounds that might help, depending on your setup—Let me know if you have more questions
