API Rate Limit [APIs]

API Rate Limit

Overview

To enhance the security of the platform and ensure fair resource usage, API rate limiting is enforced at the account level.

Update date: 12 February 2025

Key updates

1. Rate limiting per account

   • Limits apply at the account level (not per IP address)

   • All users within the same account share the same rate limit

   • Enterprises under resellers have their own separate rate limits

   • IP addresses are not considered for rate limiting

2. Rate limiting per second

   • The limit is enforced on a per-second basis

3. Updated HTTP header

   • A new header X-Rate-Limit-TPS replaces previous rate-limit headers

   • The following headers are not available anymore:

     • X-Rate-Limit-Limit

     • X-Rate-Limit-Remaining

     • X-Rate-Limit-Reset

Rate limit policy

• Number of total requests: The configured limit for your account is visible in the X-Rate-Limit-TPS header

• Default value: 2 TPS (unless your account is configured differently)

• Period: 1 second

When the limit is exceeded

• The API returns HTTP 429 – Too Many Requests

Notes

These changes are designed to support platform reliability and protect against excessive resource usage caused by external attacks or customer misconfigurations.
