Rate Limiting

The API has a rate limit of 500 requests per minute based on the user. This means that the rate limit applies to all of your personal access tokens collectively.

note

When you run several requests per second you may find that the security suite in front of the API blocks you sooner than the rate limit, especially when run on public clouds. If you face this issue, please reduce the amount of requests you are making. If the resulting amount of requsts per second is too low to be viable for your use-case, please get in touch with us.

Each API response will return headers informing you of the rate limit and how many requests you have left. The X-RateLimit-Limit header will specify the current rate limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining will give you how many requests are left in the current minute.

If you reach the limit, a 429 - Too Many Requests error will be returned along with two additional headers. The X-RateLimit-Reset header will give you a timestamp of when the rate limit will be reset and the Retry-After header will give you how many seconds are left until you may retry again.
