API limitations¶

Category	Limitation Type	Limit	Additional Notes
API calls	Number of rows appending in a single call	1 000
	Number of rows modification in a single call	1 000
	Number of rows deletion in a single call	10 000
	Number of rows listed in a single call	10 000	Use the `start` and `limit` params to list further rows.
API calling rate	API calling for a single base	300/min for the cloud edition. 5 000/day	This limit can be set by yourself for the Developer Edition. You should use batch APIs to reduce API calls.
	API calling for getting rows of a table	100/min for a single table, 600/hour maximum	We strongly suggest that you use SQL if the API calling is frequent or add some cache in your code.
	SQL calling for a single base	5 000/day
