Rate Limiting

Rate Limiting

API requests are rate-limited to ensure fair usage and platform stability.

Rate Limits by Endpoint

Rate Limit Headers

All API responses include rate limit information in headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 95
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1640000000

Handling Rate Limits

When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response:

{
  "error": "rate_limit_exceeded",
  "message": "Too many requests. Please try again later.",
  "retry_after": 60
}

Best Practices

• Implement exponential backoff when receiving 429 responses
• Cache responses where appropriate
• Use webhooks instead of polling when possible
• Batch operations when available
• Monitor rate limit headers proactively
