Rate Limiting

To ensure system stability and fair usage across all clients, the RapidMule API enforces rate limits per API key and endpoint type.

Default Limits​

CategoryLimit
General (per API Key)1000 requests per minute
Need Higher Limits?

Contact the RapidMule support team if your use case requires higher throughput.

When Limits Are Exceeded​

If a client exceeds the allowed rate, the API returns:

  • HTTP status code: 429 Too Many Requests
  • Header: Retry-After (in seconds)
  • Response body:
{
"code": 429,
"message": "Rate limit exceeded. Please retry after 60 seconds."
}
