Service Limits

Service limits are enforced to help prevent unintentional resource exhaustion, like infinite loops created in a workflow.

Note: The service limits on a demo or trial account are roughly a quarter of the limits of the standard account described below.

Laserfiche API limits
Total Calls Laserfiche Cloud customers who have access to the Laserfiche API have an allocated number of API calls that the account is allowed to use for their subscription year. Please view our pricing and packaging to see how much usage is allocated for each subscription tier. You can also view your API call usage under the Plan tab of your Account Administration. To see more information regarding different plans or contacting Laserfiche, see Laserfiche Cloud Pricing.
Rate Limits The Laserfiche API will limit the rate of calls that can be made in a 1-minute time period on a per-user basis. Different APIs may have different limits. Unless otherwise stated, APIs will fall under the General category.
  • General APIs: 100 calls per minute per account
  • Import and Export calls: shared limit of 30 calls per minute per account
  • Table API (Preview) Replace calls:
    • Limit of 30 calls per minute per account
    • Limit of 1 call per 15 minutes per Lookup Table

Additional rate limits may apply to maintain the stability and availability of the service.

Concurrency Limits In addition to rate limiting, the Laserfiche API will limit the number of concurrent calls for certain operations that a user can run.
  • 1 concurrent long operation per API set per user
    • Long operations are defined as those APIs which involve the Task APIs. Currently, this includes copying and deleting entries in the repository API and replacing tables in the table API.

    Note: Service Principal users can run 10 concurrent long operations per API set.

  • 2 concurrent open searches per user
    • After a search operation is completed, it remains open in order to have the results of the search cached. Follow best practices of deleting search operations when the results are no longer needed.
    • The Simple Search route will only count against your open search limit while the search is running. The results of a Simple Search are not cached, so will not count against the limit after the search is complete.
  • 2 concurrent import operations per user
  • 2 concurrent export operations per user
  • Note: Service Principal users can have 6 concurrent open searches, import operations, and export operations.

  • At the account level, there is also a global limit imposed across all users of an organization
    • 15 concurrent long operations per API set per organization
    • 9 concurrent open searches per organization
    • 9 concurrent import operations per organization
    • 9 concurrent export operations per organization
Request and Response size Limits

In general, the Laserfiche API will limit the size of JSON request and response bodies to 5 MB. APIs that return a stream of data, like Export related APIs, do not fall under this limit.

File upload size limits:

  • Repository document simple import (non-long operation) 100 MB
