I have a question about the API limit for apps from the Box Apps also counts or is there no limit on API calls?

Hi Maximilian, 


Welcome to Box community!


There are currently a few distinct rate limits in place within the Box API.


  • General API calls
    • 1000 API requests per minute, per user


  • Uploads
    • 240 file upload requests per minute, per user


  • Search
    • 6 searches per second, per user, to the search endpoint

    • Two additional limits are applied on top of the basic rate limit
      • 60 searches per minute, per user

      • 12 searches per second, per enterprise



  • Box Sign
    • Create and resend sign request: 100 requests per minute, per user

    • Get sign request: 1000 requests per minute, per user

If you have further questions regarding API limit, I highly recommend to post your inquiry to https://community.box.com/box-platform-5
