Rate Limiting

Overview

Our API enforces rate limits to help distribute resources among partners. There are two types of rate limit, by IP address and by endpoint.

IP address

It depends on the authentication state of the requests. It allows 20 authenticated requests per SECOND, considering all requests made by the IP address. For not authenticated requests, the limit is 3 requests per MINUTE.

Endpoint

All authenticated endpoints are rate limited individually at the store level by application. For example: the store "Test" of the application "UUID" can ping the system eight times per minute.

The limits are defined according to the context of the endpoints. You can check the usage quotas of all endpoints in the Rate Limiting API Reference.

HTTP error responses

HTTP responses will return a 429 status code until the rate limit has dropped below the required threshold. If you are getting rate limited too frequently, contact your TAM for help.
