API Rate Limits

To ensure fair and stable access for all users, our API enforces rate limits based on each client’s IP address:

• Sustained rate: Up to 10 requests per second
• Burst capacity: Up to 20 requests at once
• Rate limit window: 1 second

How Rate Limiting Works

• You can make up to 20 requests instantly without delay - this is your burst limit.
• After the burst is used, your request rate is limited to 10 requests per second.
• If you exceed this rate, additional requests will be throttled (delayed or dropped).

Example Scenario

If your application sends 50 requests at once:

• The first 20 requests are accepted immediately.
• The remaining 30 requests are throttled and processed at a rate of 10 per second, depending on system capacity.

How to Avoid Being Rate Limited

1. Avoid sending more than 20 requests at once.
2. After the initial burst, keep your request rate at or below 10 per second.
