Rate Limits

The API enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and protect the service. Limits are applied per application.

Limit	Default	Scope
Per Minute	`60 requests`	Sliding window per app
Per Day	`10,000 requests`	Rolling 24-hour window per app

Response Headers

Rate limit headers are included on every API response, following the IETF standard (RFC 9448).

Header	Description
`RateLimit-Policy`	All configured windows (e.g. 60;w=60, 10000;w=86400)
`RateLimit-Limit`	Maximum requests in the current window
`RateLimit-Remaining`	Remaining requests in the current window
`RateLimit-Reset`	Seconds until the current window resets
`Retry-After`	Seconds to wait before retrying (on 429 responses only)

When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response:

{
  "error": "rate_limited",
  "error_description": "Rate limit exceeded",
  "retry_after": 42
}

Respect the Retry-After header and wait before making another request. Clients that consistently exceed rate limits may have their limits reduced.
