name: Depositphotos API Rate Limits
description: >-
  Depositphotos does not publish explicit numeric rate limits (requests per
  second/minute/day) in their public documentation. The primary throttling
  mechanism is session-based: each session token issued at login is valid for
  three hours, after which a new login call must be made. Download quotas are
  governed by the purchased plan tier rather than by API call frequency. For
  enterprise customers, usage is tracked against prepaid balance or monthly
  postpaid invoices.
