Managing Apollo API Limits and Throttling in Clay

We keep hitting our Apollo API limits - e.g. 100 per minute and 400 per hour something like this. Is there any way to manage thresholds and throttling like this within Clay?

We don't have a built-in feature to manage Apollo API limits directly within Clay. However, you can use our HTTP API integration to control request rates. In the HTTP API settings, you can set a Request Limit and Duration. The Request Limit specifies the number of requests allowed in a given timeframe, and the Duration sets the timeframe in milliseconds (between 1 and 900,000 ms). To stay within Apollo's limits, you could set the Request Limit to 100 and the Duration to 60000 ms (1 minute). This would help manage the 100 per minute threshold you mentioned. For the 400 per hour limit, you might consider processing data in smaller batches. If you need further assistance, you can request human help by clicking on "Talk to a person" in this chat.
