Rate Limiting

Rate Limits​

Current default (API gateway)​

There is a default rate limit of 100 requests per client_id per 10 seconds for traffic through the API gateway. Which API version you call does not change this default; the limit applies gateway-wide. If you exceed the rate limit, expect the following response from the API:

HTTP Status Code: 429 Too Many Requests

Headers:

  • Retry-After: [seconds to wait before rate limit resets]
info

Specific APIs may have different rate limiting. Refer to their specifications for this information.

What changed

Gateway rate limiting now keys off client_id (still 100 requests per 10 seconds by default). Earlier documentation described the same ceiling per access_token. Plan retries and concurrency around client_id so your behavior matches how the gateway enforces limits.

Previous documentation (per access token)​

For reference, the documentation used to describe this default as 100 requests per access_token per 10 seconds through the API gateway. The 429 Too Many Requests response and Retry-After header when you exceed a limit follow the same pattern as above.
