Rate Limits

Quota and throttling behavior for the InternetData HTTP API.

A database license is a contract, not a metered plan, so there's no quota to spend.

  • You may use the Database Download API for any dataset you license, or any Open one, as much as you like.
  • All other endpoints have very high and undocumented rate limits.

The one limit you'll meet in normal use is on OAuth sign-in. Polling for a token faster than the device authorization's interval answers slow_down, which means widen your interval and keep it widened. Starting too many device authorizations from one address answers slow_down too.

In general, if rate limited, try again with some exponential delay.
