Call limits

Roman

Hello,

it would be useful to know whether there were any limits to the number of API calls that application can make against a particular user account (concurrent, minute, daily limits etc) ?

Jamie

Hi Roman, thanks for reaching out to us. As it stands we have simple rate limiting set to 100 requests per second. We intend to evolve / refine these limits over the coming months as the API continues to grow in popularity. For now we’ll update our developer docs to make this information more available.

Thanks again.

Roman

Hi Jamie, can we detect that the limit is reached during API call?

Jamie

Sure. So as it stands we have a two-tier mechanism. You’ll get the following error codes based on the rate at which you fire requests:

1) rate = 100 req/s, where you get ‘503’ if requests fire less than 10 ms apart.
2) rate = 1000/60 req/s, which accounts for 1000 requests over a sliding time window of 60 s, returning ‘429’ when exceeded.
