# Limits/Throttling

All API requests are limited/throttled to prevent abuse and ensure stability. There are two types of limiting in place:

1. Usage Limits/Quota As a customer you would have been given a number of API calls that you are allowed to make each month. If you exceed this limit then your request will fail.
2. Rate Limits As part of your plan you will also have limits as to how often you can make particular calls. For example you may only be able to call a particular endpoint once per minute. If you exceed these limits then your request will fail.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sportradar.com/datacore/sports-apis/baseball/datacore-api-v1/introduction/limits-throttling.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
