The API is rate limited to 100 requests per 2 minutes for each user (actually for each originating IP address).

We are still working on establishing the exact rate limits. Please let us know if you encounter the rate-limiting and in what use cases.

 

If a request is rate-limited, we include headers describing the current rate limit status:

```
X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
X-RateLimit-Reset: 120
```

- `X-RateLimit-Limit` - Total number of requests allowed for current period
- `X-RateLimit-Remaining` - Remaining requests for current period (typically 0)
- `X-RateLimit-Reset` - Number of seconds until the the requests count resets and you can do request again

If the rate limit is hit, the API will return a `429 Too Many Requests` status code. In this situation, your application should not send any further requests until `X-RateLimit-Reset` seconds have elapsed.
