Finding API Rate Limit

I finally got my production api ID but when I made my first search using Finding API, I get ..
"Error: [{'error': [{'errorId': ['10001'], 'domain': ['Security'], 'severity': ['Error'], 'category': ['System'], 'message': ['Service call has exceeded the number of times the operation is allowed to be called'], 'subdomain': ['RateLimiter'], 'parameter': [{'@name': 'Param1', '__value__': 'findCompletedItems'}, {'@name': 'Param2', '__value__': 'FindingService'}]}]}]

I don't think I have really hit my rate limit since it's my first time trying it out. Is there an hourly limit that I may have somehow hit by trying to run my first search? I appreciate any help or insight into this. Thank you.

Re: Finding API Rate Limit

I am getting the same error. Were you able to figure this out?

@theflash5006 

FindCompletedItems is no longer a valid call. It was deprecated a few years ago. So your rate limit would be zero.

@carbonsolutions315 

Are you also using the findCompletedItems call?

Re: Finding API Rate Limit

Thanks @shipscript  I was running in to the same issue.. although I was able to make 1 successful call to that api funnily enough.. then everything after that was rate limited.

 

You wouldn't happen to know where I can find an equivalent api call?

The deprecation note on this page mentions an alternate call in the Marketplace Insights API, but also states that permission is required to use that call:
