🛑Throttling / rate limits

Our API implements rate limiting to ensure optimal performance and protect the service from potential abuse or overload. This document will explain our API rate limit policy and how it is communicated to our users.

Rate limit policy

Each client can make up to 60 requests per minute to all endpoints. However, for the file upload endpoint, this limit is further reduced to 15 uploads per minute. This limitation helps us balance the heavier resource requirements of file uploads with the overall performance of our API.

Communicating rate limit

To keep users informed about their remaining quota, we include a X-Rate-Limit-Remaining header in the response of every API request. This header contains the number of requests that the client can still make within the current 60-second window.
