Rate Limiting

To ensure fair usage and protect the API from abuse, rate limiting is applied.

• Limit: 60 requests per minute per IP address.

• Headers: Standard rate limit headers (RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, RateLimit-Reset, Retry-After) are included in responses according to the IETF Draft standard.

• Exceeding Limit: If you exceed the rate limit, you will receive an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response. Check the Retry-After header to see when you can make requests again.

Example 429 Response:

HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
RateLimit-Limit: 60
RateLimit-Remaining: 0
RateLimit-Reset: 45  // Seconds until the limit resets
Retry-After: 45      // Seconds to wait before retrying
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "error": "You can only make 60 requests every minute."
}
