Apollo API Rate Limit Handler FAQs

Question 1

How does this skill prevent Apollo.io 429 errors?

Accepted Answer

It uses a combination of a token bucket rate limiter and a concurrency-controlled request queue to ensure your application stays within Apollo's specific per-minute and per-second endpoint limits.

Question 2

Does it handle different limits for search vs. enrichment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the skill includes a pre-defined limit table for various Apollo categories including People Search (100/min), Enrichment (100/min), and Bulk Operations (10/min).

Question 3

What is exponential backoff with jitter in this context?

Accepted Answer

It is a strategy that increases the wait time between retries after an error occurs, adding a random delay (jitter) to prevent 'thundering herd' issues where multiple requests retry at the exact same time.

Question 4

Can I prioritize specific API calls using this skill?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the implementation includes a priority queue pattern that allows you to assign higher priority to interactive user searches while processing background sync tasks at a lower priority.

Question 5

Is the Retry-After header supported?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The backoff logic specifically checks for the 'Retry-After' header sent by Apollo's servers to determine exactly how long the system should wait before attempting the request again.
