Rate Limits

Limits by Plan

Rate Limit Headers

Every API response includes rate limit information:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 1000
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 950
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1707350400

• X-RateLimit-Limit — Requests allowed per window
• X-RateLimit-Remaining — Requests remaining
• X-RateLimit-Reset — Unix timestamp when limit resets

Exceeding Limits

When you exceed your rate limit, the API returns a 429 status:

{
  "errors": [{
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded",
    "extensions": {
      "code": "RATE_LIMITED",
      "retryAfter": 60
    }
  }]
}

Best Practices

• Cache responses when possible
• Use WebSocket subscriptions for real-time data instead of polling
• Implement exponential backoff on 429 errors
• Batch multiple queries in a single GraphQL request
• Monitor your usage in the dashboard
