Rate Limits

Rate limiting protects the API from abuse and ensures fair usage across all workspaces. When a limit is exceeded, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response.

Global API​

Every authenticated API request counts against a global per-user limit. Unauthenticated requests are tracked by IP address instead.

• Limit: 60 requests per minute

If 60 requests per minute is not sufficient for your use case, contact support to have your limit increased to 200 requests per minute.

File Uploads​

Creating a file via the public API is limited per IP address.

• Limit: 5 uploads per minute

Response Headers​

Every API response includes the following headers so you can monitor your current usage:

Header	Description
X-RateLimit-Limit	The maximum number of requests allowed per minute
X-RateLimit-Remaining	The number of requests remaining in the current window

When the limit is exceeded, the response also includes:

Header	Description
Retry-After	The number of seconds to wait before making another request
