Rate limits

Every API response includes budget headers so your app (or agent) can self-regulate:

x-recursiv-tier: free
x-recursiv-calls-remaining: 4847
x-recursiv-calls-limit: 5000

When you exceed your limit, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header.

Auto-retry

The SDK automatically retries requests that fail with 429 (rate limit) or 5xx (server error) using exponential backoff. It respects Retry-After headers.

1const r = new Recursiv({
2  maxRetries: 3, // default is 2, set 0 to disable
3});

If all retries are exhausted, the SDK throws a RateLimitError with:

  • retryAfter — seconds to wait
  • upgradeUrl — link to upgrade your plan (free tier only)

Agent discovery

Agents can discover the full API surface and manage their own budget programmatically:
