What is the issue you’re encountering

Hi everyone, I have a quick question regarding the limits for the URL scanner API. I have a Pro plan and am trying to understand what limits are applied to me when using the URL scanner: 1. On one side the global limit for the Cloudflare API is 1200 requests per five minutes. (Limits · Cloudflare Fundamentals docs); 2. On another side the API Doc site says it is “1 new scan every 10 seconds and 8000 per month”. (Cloudflare API Documentation); 3. Finally, there is a table with scan limits which actually doesn’t have the Pro plan (it has Free, Self serve, Enterprise, Cloudforce One). Which one is Pro? (Scan limits · Cloudflare Security Center docs). So, the question is what URL scanner limits apply to my case?

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

  • Asked in Developers’ Discord channels
  • Checked the documentation
  • Asked the Cloudflare AI ChatBot

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out. This doc here Limits | Cloudflare Fundamentals docs refers to global limits, such as adding DNS records or purging cache, for example. This is the correct limit for URL scanner API: Scan limits | Cloudflare Security Center docs. The page Cloudflare API Documentation will be updated soon. We apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused. Lastly, as you’re pro customer, you’re on self serve category.

I hope this helps!

Kindly,
