Rate limits protect the API from abuse and ensure fair usage across all customers.

Limits by plan

Plan	Requests per minute	Requests per month
Hobby	100	10,000
Pro	1,000	100,000
Enterprise	Custom	Unlimited

Rate limit headers

Every response includes:

Header	Description
X-RateLimit-Limit	Maximum requests per minute
X-RateLimit-Remaining	Remaining requests in the current window
X-RateLimit-Reset	Unix timestamp when the window resets

Handling rate limits

When you receive a 429 response, pause requests until the Retry-After header value (in seconds).

async function fetchWithRetry(url, options) {
  const res = await fetch(url, options);

  if (res.status === 429) {
    const retryAfter = res.headers.get('Retry-After');
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, retryAfter * 1000));
    return fetchWithRetry(url, options);
  }

  return res;
}

Best practices

• Implement exponential backoff with jitter
• Cache responses when appropriate (use ETag headers)
• Use persistent connections (HTTP/2 or keep-alive)
• Avoid polling - use webhooks for real-time events
