Submission API Limiting to 20

I am trying to get all the submissions of a form through the following api :-
https://api.jotform.com/form/${formId}/submissions?apiKey=${api_key}

The form in total has 500+ submissions but I am only getting 20 responses through the api call and the following is attached at the end of the response :-
  "resultSet": { "offset": 0, "limit": 20, "count": 20 },

  "limit-left": 49976.

Firstly how do I remove the limit ? and what does it mean by limit-left?

Hi SIIL,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. The Jotform API, by default, returns 20 submissions at a time for each API call. This is to prevent the server from being overwhelmed by a large number of requests at once. The `limit` parameter in the `resultSet` object indicates this default limit.

To get more submissions in a single API call, you can add a `limit` parameter to your API request URL. For example, if you want to get 100 submissions at once, you can modify your API call like this:

https://api.jotform.com/form/${formId}/submissions?apiKey=${api_key}&limit=100

Replace `${formId}` and `${api_key}` with your actual form ID and API key. Please note that there might be a maximum limit on the number of submissions you can fetch in a single API call due to server constraints.

The `limit-left` field indicates the number of API calls left that you can make within a certain time period (usually a day). Each API call you make decreases this number. When `limit-left` reaches 0, you will have to wait until it resets to make more API calls.

Give it a try, and let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the clarity but it is still unclear to me on what is the exact limit of submissions that I can get from the api. Is there a daily limit , monthly limit or account limit. I request you to give me some more information

Hi SIIL,

Thanks for getting back to us. The default limit for the number of submissions in an API call is 20, but the maximum limit is 1000. You can add limit=1000 in the API endpoint URL to increase the limit.

https://api.jotform.com/form/${formId}/submissions?apiKey=${api_key}&limit=1000

It's important to note that the submission limit is per API call and not a daily limit. However, there is a daily limit on the number of API calls allowed per day, which varies depending on the plan you have. Here are the daily API call limits of each plan:

Starter Plan — 1,000 requests per day.

Bronze Plan — 10,000 requests per day.

Silver Plan — 50,000 requests per day.

Gold Plan — 100,000 requests per day.

We also have a guide about Daily API Call Limits that you can check out.

Reach out again if you have any other questions.
