Rate Limits
Rate limit is the number of API calls an application can make within a given time period. If this limit is exceeded, the application will be throttled and API requests will fail (HTTP status code 429 limit exceeded). All API requests are subject to rate limits.
Manage your API rate limits using the below parameters:
- Limit- The maximum requests for an API in a given time period. Once the limit is reached, further requests in that time period will fail until the end of the time period.
- Reserve- The minimum number of requests for an API which are guaranteed to be served in a given time period. The request reserve number for an API reduces the maximum requests allowed for other APIs.
