## About rate limits
You can check your current rate limit status at any time. For more information about rate limit rules, see "[AUTOTITLE](/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting)."
The REST API for searching items has a custom rate limit that is separate from the rate limit governing the other REST API endpoints. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/rest/search)." The GraphQL API also has a custom rate limit that is separate from and calculated differently than rate limits in the REST API. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/graphql/overview/resource-limitations#rate-limit)." For these reasons, the API response categorizes your rate limit. Under `resources`, you'll see objects relating to different categories:
* The `core` object provides your rate limit status for all non-search-related resources in the REST API.
* The `search` object provides your rate limit status for the REST API for searching (excluding code searches). For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/rest/search)."
* The `code_search` object provides your rate limit status for the REST API for searching code. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/rest/search#search-code)."
* The `graphql` object provides your rate limit status for the GraphQL API.
* The `integration_manifest` object provides your rate limit status for the `POST /app-manifests/{code}/conversions` operation. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/apps/creating-github-apps/setting-up-a-github-app/creating-a-github-app-from-a-manifest#3-you-exchange-the-temporary-code-to-retrieve-the-app-configuration)."
{% ifversion fpt or ghec or ghes > 3.5 %}* The `dependency_snapshots` object provides your rate limit status for submitting snapshots to the dependency graph. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/rest/dependency-graph)."{% endif %}
* The `code_scanning_upload` object provides your rate limit status for uploading SARIF results to code scanning. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/code-security/code-scanning/integrating-with-code-scanning/uploading-a-sarif-file-to-github)."
For more information on the headers and values in the rate limit response, see "[AUTOTITLE](/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limit-http-headers)."
