Rate Limiting

Each API token is allowed a maximum of 200 requests per minute. Exceeding this limit will result in an error message as follows:

“Rate limit exceeded, please try again in 1 minute.”

Rate Limit Headers

You can view the current queries-per-minute limit in response headers under the X-RateLimit-Limit property.

You can also view remaining queries under the X-RateLimit-Remaining property, also in response headers.

Please note that this property (X-RateLimit-Remaining) typically represents the number of remaining queries as a number. However, in the case of an error, the property will display the message ‘Please make a valid request to view’ instead.”. See more about error handling in Error Messages.

If you find that these limits are too restrictive for your purposes, please contact us at contact@sociable.how.
