# Rate Limiting The `rate` config option allows you to specify at which rate the scraper should send out requests. The rate is measured in _Requests per Second_ (RPS) and can be set as a whole or decimal number to account for shorter and longer request intervals. When no `rate` is specified, rate limiting is disabled and the scraper will send out requests as fast as it can. Example: ```javascript export const options = { url: "http://example.com/", rate: 50, }; ```
