I was not able to find any rate limit documentation for document indexing. Can I be provided the rate limit for document indexing api calls? I am assuming that there is one. Thanks, Andrew ---

Did you see [this page](https://swiftype.com/documentation/site-search/rate_limiting)? It does not provide the actual limit, but it does mention that it should be high enough not to bother most people. If you meant a crawler-based engine, the crawler supports the `Crawl-delay` directive in the [robots.txt file](https://swiftype.com/documentation/site-search/robots). ---

Hi Joshua, I was looking for something like requests per second for the documents post API. I did a stress test yesterday with 10 document post requests per second. The API held up. I’s unlikely we will go higher that. Thanks, Andrew
