API Ratelimits

Open CyberiumShadow opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Hey,

So I don't seem to see any section in the documentation regarding Rate-limits (global nor per-endpoint)

As far as I can see, the only way to see what our rate-limit is via the X-RateLimit-Remaining header that is returned in the response from the API. From what I understand, this rate-limit should be hourly but I feel that it would make it easier/more understandable to other people working with the API to have the rate-limits documented.

You are correct; that is an hourly rate limit. It's highly likely to change as we evaluate usage during the beta. Will look at adding info to the docs.

What is the hourly rate-limit?

What is the hourly rate-limit?

At the moment, it seems to be 1000 requests globally per access token per hour

Yeah, that messed me up. I'm working on a web-based project, and apparently refreshed too many times. When I got confused about what was happening, I started refreshing and made it worse, because the only place I can see that documented is in this issue right here.

Will expose the hourly limit in the 429 error response message and also document the X-RateLimit-Remaining header. Thanks for raising!
