When using HTTP API to extract emails from Apollo, inconsistent results can occur for several reasons: 1. API key issues - You might be using an incorrect API key or one with insufficient permissions for the specific Apollo endpoint. 2. Apollo API limitations - Even with proper setup, you're still subject to Apollo's API constraints which may affect data retrieval. 3. Body parsing errors - The HTTP API request might have syntax issues in the body section, such as missing quotes around keys or improper formatting. To troubleshoot, could you please copy and paste your JSON configuration from the HTTP API setup so I can help identify any potential issues?

When extracting emails from Apollo using HTTP API in Clay, inconsistent results can happen for several reasons: 1. Apollo account credit limitations - You might not have enough credits in your Apollo account to unlock all emails. 2. API key issues - The API key might have insufficient permissions or might not be authorized for the specific endpoint you're using. 3. JSON formatting problems - There could be syntax errors in your HTTP API configuration causing the "failed to parse body" error.

what does rate limit exceeded mean ?
429 error
"Rate limit exceeded" means you've reached Apollo's maximum allowed API requests within a specific timeframe based on your subscription plan. To resolve this: 1. Set rate limits in your HTTP API configuration by specifying: • Request Limit: Maximum number of allowed requests • Duration: Time window in milliseconds (e.g., 1000ms = 1 second) 2. Process data in smaller batches (around 200 rows at a time) to stay within limits. 3. Consider upgrading your Apollo subscription plan for higher limits. For optimal performance, ensure your rate limit averages at least 5 requests per second.
A 429 error means "Rate limit exceeded" - you've hit Apollo's maximum allowed API requests within a specific timeframe based on your subscription plan. To resolve this: 1. Set rate limits in your HTTP API configuration by adding parameters for request limit and duration (in milliseconds) 2. Process your data in smaller batches (around 200 rows at a time) 3. Space out your requests to stay within Apollo's limits Could you share your HTTP API configuration JSON so I can help troubleshoot further? This would help me identify any specific issues with your setup.
To fix inconsistent email extraction and 429 rate limit errors with Apollo's HTTP API: 1. Set rate limits in your HTTP API configuration: • Add a Request Limit field (maximum allowed requests) • Set Duration in milliseconds (e.g., 1000ms = 1 second) 2. Process data in smaller batches (around 200 rows at a time) to stay within Apollo's rate limits. 3. If issues persist, try these troubleshooting steps: • Refresh your browser (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R) • Run only the affected rows using the error retry option Could you share your HTTP API configuration JSON so I can help troubleshoot further?
How do I know My limit ?
To find your Apollo API rate limit: 1. Check Apollo's documentation at API pricing where limits are listed based on your subscription plan (Starter, Explorer, Pro, or Enterprise). 2. In Clay, you can set rate limits in your HTTP API configuration: • Add a "Request Limit" field (maximum allowed requests) • Set "Duration (in ms)" (e.g., 1000ms = 1 second) This helps prevent 429 errors by controlling how many requests are sent within a specific timeframe. If you're still experiencing issues, could you share your HTTP API configuration JSON so I can help troubleshoot further?
