API Rate Limits

Rate limits help maintain platform stability and ensure fair usage across all customers.

Default Limits

How Rate Limiting Works

Every API request counts toward your quota.

When the limit is reached:

• Additional requests are temporarily blocked.

• The API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response.

• Requests can resume after the reset period.

Rate Limit Headers

Each response includes usage information.

Best Practices

Use Caching

Store frequently requested data locally to reduce API calls.

Batch Requests

Combine multiple operations into fewer requests whenever possible.

Retry Gracefully

Implement exponential backoff when receiving a 429 response.

Example:

Attempt 1 → Wait 1 secondAttempt 2 → Wait 2 secondsAttempt 3 → Wait 4 secondsAttempt 4 → Wait 8 seconds

Attempt 1 → Wait 1 secondAttempt 2 → Wait 2 secondsAttempt 3 → Wait 4 secondsAttempt 4 → Wait 8 seconds

Attempt 1 → Wait 1 secondAttempt 2 → Wait 2 secondsAttempt 3 → Wait 4 secondsAttempt 4 → Wait 8 seconds

Monitor Usage

Track API consumption through the dashboard to avoid unexpected interruptions.
