Rate Limits

Suggest Edits

Requests to the API are throttled to protect from abuse. Current rate limits are set as:

  • 120 requests/IP in ~1 minute
  • 240 requests/IP in ~8 minutes

If the limit is exceeded then all requests will be met with a HTTP 429 response until the rate limit has been reset. If you receive this response then check the headers for more information:

  • The RateLimit-Limit header will detail which rate limit value has been hit.
  • The RateLimit-Reset header will indicate that time (in UNIX time format) at which the rate limit will be reset.
  • The Retry-After header will indicate the number of seconds before requests should be retried.
