Limit on requests made to OPS

Post by RohiniTuraga » Tue Apr 15, 2014 12:43 pm

Hi,
We are from Lexisnexis Totalpatent and we are currently using RESTful services 3.1 version for INPADOC family retrieval (family-and-legal-and-biblio-retrieval). We are accessing OPS as registered non payee users.
Can you please let us know if there is any limit on the number of requests made to OPS ?

Dear user,

No, there is no such limit. Limit is only on amount of data retrieved in a week, which is 2,5 GB and you need to obey throttling as described in our OPS documentation. If you have more specific question contact us directly via email.

Kind regards,

OPS support
