Rules & Limits

Search limits

There aren't any worth knowing about. Searching is unlimited on every plan, free included. Paid plans unlock features, not quotas. The only thing that resembles a limit is automatic bot protection: fire off searches at machine speed and you'll be briefly slowed down. A human using DealBot normally will rarely run into it.

Verify requests are treated the same as searches by bot protection. If you do get slowed down, wait a moment and try again.

Fair use

• !Use genuine, specific queries. Every search runs real work across real marketplaces, including nonsensical ones.
• !Don't script or automate searches. If you need recurring searches, that's exactly what the Flipper plan's automated DealBots are for.
• !Don't create multiple accounts or rotate IPs to get around bot protection.

Prohibited uses

• ✗Searching for illegal, prohibited, or restricted items
• ✗Systematically collecting, scraping, or reselling data obtained through DealBot
• ✗Attempting to reverse-engineer, overload, probe, or interfere with the service
• ✗Using DealBot to facilitate fraud, scams, or deceptive practices
• ✗Creating accounts with fake or disposable email addresses to bypass limits

These are a summary; the binding list lives in the Terms of Service.

Enforcement

Most enforcement is automatic and proportionate:

• ·Temporary rate-limit reductions that lift on their own after a cooldown
• ·Temporary IP blocks for bot-like activity, expiring automatically
• ·Account suspension for repeated or serious violations
