All API keys are rate-limited to protect the platform and ensure fair usage across workspaces.

​
Default Limits

LimitValue
Requests per minute1,000 per API key
Max configurable10,000 per API key
Burst allowanceUp to 50 requests in a single second

​
Response Headers

Every response includes rate limit headers: 
X-RateLimit-Limit: 1000
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 847
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1711180800
HeaderDescription
X-RateLimit-LimitMaximum requests allowed per minute
X-RateLimit-RemainingRequests remaining in the current window
X-RateLimit-ResetUnix timestamp when the window resets

​
Exceeding the Limit

When you exceed the rate limit, you’ll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response: 
{
  "error": {
    "code": 429,
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded. Retry after 12 seconds.",
    "retry_after": 12
  }
}
The Retry-After header indicates how many seconds to wait before retrying.

​
Best Practices

Use bulk operations

Prefer records.bulk_create and lists.bulk_add_entry over individual calls when creating multiple items.

Cache reads

Cache objects.list and views.list responses — schemas change infrequently.

Respect Retry-After

Always honor the Retry-After header. Exponential backoff is recommended.

Request higher limits

Contact support to increase your per-key limit up to 10,000 requests/minute.

Configuring Limits

Workspace owners can adjust per-key rate limits:
  1. Go to Settings > Developers > API Keys
  2. Click the key you want to modify
  3. Set the Rate Limit field (100 to 10,000)
  4. Save
