This guide provides an overview of the rate limiting policy implemented on our platform. Rate limiting helps ensure fair usage and prevents abuse of our services.
What is Rate Limiting?
Rate limiting is a technique used to control the number of requests a user can make to a server within a certain time frame. It helps protect the server from being overwhelmed by too many requests at once.
How Rate Limiting Works
When you make a request to our server, it is checked against the rate limiting policy. If you exceed the allowed number of requests, your request will be temporarily blocked.
Key Points:
- Time Frame: The time frame for rate limiting can vary depending on the type of request.
- Request Limits: The number of requests allowed within the time frame is defined by the rate limit policy.
- Blocking: Exceeding the limit will result in a temporary block on your requests.
Common Use Cases
Here are some common scenarios where rate limiting is applied:
- API Calls: When making API calls to our platform.
- Web Requests: When accessing our website or web services.
How to Avoid Being Blocked
To avoid being blocked by our rate limiting policy, follow these guidelines:
- Check the API Documentation: Review the API documentation for specific rate limits and time frames.
- Use Caching: Implement caching to reduce the number of requests made to the server.
- Monitor Your Usage: Keep an eye on your usage patterns and adjust your requests accordingly.
