Rate limiting

There are two types of limits — GET requests and POST requests — both counted per hour, with the count resetting in the first minute of each hour:

TypeLimit
GET60 requests/hour
POST1000 requests/hour

If your operation needs a higher limit, talk to support or sales.

Response headers

On every request, the server attaches to the response headers the limits used and how long to wait until the next window:

HeaderExampleDescription
ratelimit-limit60Request limit for the client.
ratelimit-namethrottle_v1_writeName of the throttle used.
ratelimit-remaining0Number of requests still available.
ratelimit-reset1782648000Unix time — when the count resets.
retry-after30Seconds until the count resets. See Retry-After.

Example of a successful response

Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
ratelimit-limit: 1000
ratelimit-remaining: 486

Example of a blocked response

When the limit is reached, the server returns HTTP 429 Too Many Requests. Wait the number of seconds from the retry-after header before the next request.

HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
ratelimit-limit: 1000
ratelimit-remaining: 0
ratelimit-reset: 3600
ratelimit-name: throttle_v1_write
retry-after: 3600

{ "error": { "code": "rate_limited", "message": "Write request rate limit exceeded for this token." } }
tip

Use limit=100 on listings and the filters to reduce the number of requests — and handle 429 with backoff based on retry-after, never with an immediate retry.
