Yes, rate limiting applies to Recommend requests just as it does to standard search requests.
If you create an API key with a maxQueriesPerIPPerHour restriction, that limit will also govern requests made to the Recommend API. This helps ensure consistent usage control across both types of operations, regardless of whether the request is for search results or recommendation models.
Use rate limits when you want to:
Protect against excessive usage or abuse
Enforce usage tiers or quotas
Apply stricter limits to public-facing frontends
You can configure rate limits when generating the key in the API Key settings of the Algolia Dashboard or programmatically using the API.
