Rate limits

Requests are limited per API key over a trailing window:

• 120 requests / 60 seconds per key.

When you exceed it, the API responds 429 with a Retry-After header (seconds until you can retry):

HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 42
Lawfficient-Version: 2026-07-01

{ "error": { "code": "rate_limited", "message": "Rate limit exceeded." } }

Back off for Retry-After seconds, then retry. Spread bulk work over time rather than bursting.
