Upbooks API – Rate Limits #
Upbooks APIs have rate limits in place to ensure fair usage and to protect the integrity of the system. Rate limits are applied to prevent abuse, overuse, and to maintain a high level of service for all users.
Default Rate Limits #
The default rate limits for Upbooks API calls are as follows:
- Requests Per Minute (RPM): 60 requests
- Requests Per Hour (RPH): 1000 requests
Rate Limit Headers #
When you exceed the rate limits, the API will respond with appropriate headers indicating the limits:
X-RateLimit-Limit: 60 (RPM)
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 42 (RPM)
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1609459200 (UTC timestamp)
Rate Limit Exceeded #
If you exceed the rate limits, you will receive a 429 Too Many Requests HTTP status code. Ensure that your application adheres to the specified rate limits to avoid disruptions in service.
Adjusting Rate Limits #
For specific use cases requiring higher rate limits, contact Upbooks support to discuss custom rate limits based on your organization’s needs.
