# Get Operation Search Availability

GET https://app.polytomic.com/api/operations/search/availability

Reports whether operation search is configured on this API deployment.

When a request for one question would exceed an Organization-minute,
Organization-day, or deployment-minute question budget, the response includes
`rate_limited` with a reason and a UTC `reset_at` timestamp. If more than one
budget is exhausted, the timestamp reflects the latest reset. The check does
not use any question allowance.

> ⚠️ The result is a snapshot. A later request can be limited even if this
> response has no `rate_limited` field, especially if it contains two or three
> questions or other requests use the shared budget. Concurrent-call limits
> are not included. The search request's `429` response and `Retry-After` header
> are authoritative.

If your request does not identify an Organization, the response reports only
`enabled`. When `enabled` is `false`, `rate_limited` is omitted. If Polytomic
cannot check the question budgets, the endpoint returns `503`.
