Understanding Our API Rate Limits

API Rate Limits Explained

API rate limits are designed to regulate the number of requests you can make to our server in a given time frame. Understanding and managing these limits is crucial for effective API usage.

1. What Are Rate Limits?

Rate limits control the number of API requests you can make per minute/hour. This helps ensure fair usage and prevents server overload.

2. Checking Your Rate Limit

You can monitor your API usage and remaining quota:

• Review the response headers of your API requests to see your current rate limit status.
• Utilize the 'Rate-Limit' and 'Rate-Limit-Remaining' headers to track your usage.
• Access your developer dashboard for detailed analytics on your API consumption.

3. Handling Rate Limit Exceeded

If you exceed the rate limit, you will receive a 429 Too Many Requests error:

• Implement retry logic with exponential backoff to handle these errors gracefully.
• Consider reducing the frequency of your requests or optimizing your API calls.
• Request a rate limit increase if your application requires higher usage.

Understanding and adhering to rate limits will help you maintain seamless API integration. For more information, refer to our API documentation or contact our support team for assistance.
