Rate Limits

All API requests are rate-limited per workspace and MCP key.

Default Limits​

  • 120 requests per minute
  • Burst limit: 30 requests in 10 seconds

When Limits Are Exceeded​

When you exceed a limit, the API returns HTTP 429 Too Many Requests. The response includes a Retry-After header indicating how many seconds to wait before retrying.

{
  "error": "rate_limit_exceeded",
  "message": "Too many requests. Please retry after the time indicated in the Retry-After header."
}

Check the Retry-After header value and wait at least that many seconds before sending another request.

Best Practices​

  • Cache repeated lookups — avoid fetching the same account or post list on every request.
  • Retry with backoff — when you receive a 429, wait for the Retry-After duration before retrying; use exponential backoff for repeated failures.
  • Batch where possible — combine related operations instead of sending many rapid individual requests.
