API calls are rate limited to prevent bursts of incoming traffic to help maximize stability. If a client is rate limited, the API will return a 429
status code.
Three headers are returned with every API response that indicate how close the client is to being rate limited and when the limit will reset.
Header | Description |
---|---|
x-rate-limit-limit | The total limit for the given period of time. |
x-rate-limit-remaining | The amount of requests remaining out of the total limit. |
x-rate-limit-reset | The timestamp, in epoch, when the limit will reset to the value in x-rate-limit-limit |
x-rate-limit-limit: 1000
x-rate-limit-remaining: 995
x-rate-limit-reset: 1619380800
