API limit for apps

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
