Rate Limits

Standard and Premium Rate Limits

We offer two rate limits, standard and premium.

• Standard: 10 requests per second per IP

• Premium: 25 requests per second per IP

Users on Free or Starter can utilize the standard rate limit via our default host api.radiantdrift.com.

Users on Pro or Enterprise plans can choose between the standard rate limit by sending requests to api.radiantdrift.com or the premium rate limit by using premium.api.radiantdrift.com instead.

Requests to premium.api.radiantdrift.com made using API keys without either pro or enterprise entitlements are rejected with a 403 Forbidden response.

Rate Limit Enforcement

Rate limits are measured over 10 second periods, i.e. for the standard rate limit, you may in fact send 100 requests in 10 seconds. Once the rate limit is exceeded, further requests will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response for a back off period depending on the applicable limit, as follows:

• Standard: 1 minute

• Premium: 10 seconds

Requesting a Higher Rate Limit

If your use case warrants a higher rate limit than those posted above, please get in touch to discuss your requirements. We're happy to see if we can support them.
