Rate Limiting
Understand usage limits, headers, and retry strategies for API rate limiting.
How limits work
Requests are subject to rate limits based on your plan and the system being called. Each response may include headers that indicate remaining quota.
Retry guidance
If you receive a rate limit response, back off and retry after the specified interval. Avoid retry storms by using exponential backoff.
Important headers
X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 62
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1670000000Best practices
- Batch related requests when possible.
- Cache responses for repeated queries.
- Monitor consumption and scale up if needed.
