API Rate Limits
In this article:
Introduction
To maintain optimal performance on our API and ensure that our partners and customers are having the best possible experience, we encourage developers to optimize their calls to the API.
API call limit
To ensure fair use, we have placed a limit on the number of calls to the API of 5 calls/second (300 calls/min).
Combine multiple operations into a single call
If you need to carry out several operations in succession, you can make joined calls (read more). However, you must pay attention to our timeout (see the section below) for large calls to the API.
Run large queries during the night
Since fewer resources are usually tied up at night (between 00:59 and 04:59) you can take advantage of this for running large queries. We recommend that you do your planning based on this when you have calls that do not require a punctual execution during the day.
API timeout
Our API is subject to a 30 second timeout. This means that calls must be completed in less than 30 seconds. Please be aware of this if you plan on executing large calls. You can read more about general error handling here.
