What Are API Rate Limits?

API rate limits are restrictions placed on the number of requests a user can make to an API within a specific time frame. These limits help ensure fair usage, maintain service reliability, and prevent abuse. 🚨

Key Details

  • Limit Type: Request per minute (RPM) or request per second (RPS)
  • Default Limits: Typically set to 100 RPM for most endpoints
  • Burst Limits: Allow temporary spikes in request volume
  • Exceeding Limits: Results in 429 Too Many Requests responses
