How Rate Limits Work
Rate limits are calculated using a sliding window algorithm. When you exceed your limit, you'll receive a 429 (Too Many Requests) response with headers indicating when you can retry.
Response Headers
X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 95
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1639478400Best Practices
- Implement exponential backoff for retries
- Cache responses when possible
- Batch multiple operations into single requests
- Monitor your rate limit headers
- Upgrade your plan if you consistently hit limits
💡 Tip
Use webhooks instead of polling to reduce unnecessary API calls and stay well within your rate limits.
