Rate limits

Request quotas per credential and how to stay under them.

Limits apply per API key (or per session for first-party clients). Exceeding a limit returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header.

Track X-RateLimit-Remaining and queue writes client-side — bursting past the mutation bucket is the most common cause of 429s.
