Clarification on Clay's API Rate Limit and Column Rerun Capabilities

John Kim · 2025-02-14 16:33:07.06277+00

So just to confirm, is there nothing built within clay that allows us to rerun columns at a set cadence to workaround APIs that have a rate limit? For example apollo has a rate limit of 200 a minute. As far as I’m aware is there nothing within clay that lets me run the Apollo API column once every minute or so only on the rows inside the column that has errors so that I can eventually cover all of my rows?

While Clay doesn't offer automatic scheduling of enrichments at specific intervals, there are a few ways to manage API rate limits: 1. You can use the rate limit settings in the HTTP API configuration: • Set a specific Request Limit number • Define the Duration (in milliseconds) for the rate limit window 2. For handling rows with errors, you can: • Right-click the column and click "Play" • Select "Run All Rows that haven't run or have errors"For Apollo specifically, when hitting rate limits, it's recommended to process data in smaller batches of around 200 rows at a time to stay within the rate limits.Note that while automatic scheduling isn't currently available, we're actively working on developing a solution for scheduled enrichments.

You should post this on feature request, I ran into this exact issue with Apollo too. What could’ve bee done in 2 days (7K account enrichment) via automation took me 2 weeks.

Currently, scheduled enrichments are not available in Clay, but we're actively working on developing this functionality.For handling Apollo's rate limits specifically, here are the current options: 1. Process data in smaller batches of around 200 rows at a time to stay within the rate limits 2. Use the rate limit settings in the HTTP API configuration: • Set a specific Request Limit number • Define the Duration (in milliseconds) for the time windowSince this feature would be valuable for your use case, we encourage you to submit a feature request to help us prioritize this development.
