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.
