Also known as: API calls, search hits
One of the two quotas indexers meter, counting searches rather than downloads. Every query an automation tool sends consumes a hit, so a setup polling a dozen indexers every fifteen minutes burns through an allowance quickly. Free accounts are often limited to a few dozen or a few hundred hits a day; exceeding the cap returns an error until the counter resets.
