# Exa Rate Limits ## Overview Handle Exa API rate limits gracefully. Default limit is 10 QPS (queries per second) across all endpoints. Rate limit errors return HTTP 429 with a simple `{ "error": "rate limit exceeded" }` response. For higher limits, contact hello@exa.ai for Enterprise plans. ## Rate Limit Structure | Endpoint | Default QPS | Notes | |----------|-------------|-------| | `/search` | 10 | Most endpoints share this limit | | `/find-similar` | 10 | Same pool as search | | `/contents` | 10 | Same pool | | `/answer` | 10 | Same pool | | Research API | Concurrent task limit | Long-running operations | ## Prerequisites - `exa-js` SDK installed - Understanding of async/await patterns ## Instructions ### Step 1: Exponential Backoff with Jitter ```typescript import Exa from "exa-js"; const exa = new Exa(process.env.EXA_API_KEY); async function withBackoff<T>( operation: () => Promise<T>, config = { maxRetries: 5, baseDelayMs: 1000, maxDelayMs: 32000 } ): Promise<T> { for (let attempt = 0; attempt <= config.maxRetries; attempt++) { try { return await operation(); } catch (err: any) { const status = err.status || err.response?.status; // Only retry on 429 (rate limit) and 5xx (server errors) if (status !== 429 && (status < 500 || status >= 600)) throw err; if (attempt === config.maxRetries) throw err; // Exponential delay with random jitter to prevent thundering herd const exponentialDelay = config.baseDelayM...
