Rate Limits
Headers
Rate limiting is applied per application. There are two types of rate limits for API V2 based on the endpoint being accessed.
1. Complexity based(applicable to '/v2/api/graphql' endpoint): The application has quota of 6250 complexity points for every 15 minutes. Complexity of each request is calculated based on the fields requested.
2. Request based(applicable to all other '/v2/*' endpoints): The application can make up to 450 requests every 15 minutes.
Once the rate limit is reached, the API will return status 429 (Too Many Requests) until the rate limiting period is reset.Each API response includes 3 rate limit headers. You can use these headers to check your current rate limit status.
- X-Rate-Limit-Limit: Your applications limit for the 15 minute period
- X-Rate-Limit-Remaining: Remaining quota for the reset period
- X-Rate-Limit-Reset: Seconds until the rate limit is reset
We may on occasion adjust the rate limit depending on API traffic. If your application requires a higher rate limit. Please contact us.
