Rate Limits
Learn in detail on rate limits and its usage.
You can now view your API usage and rate limits on your dashboard. Go to Developers > Rate Limits
You can view various metrics such as:
- Rate Limit
- Latest Usage
- Average Usage
- Burst limit
- Request Count
- Violation Count
Rate Limit
The rate limit value shows the number of API calls that were made in a minute. Say for example, if the rate limit is 400 - this means you can call a maximum of 400 API calls in a minute.
Latest Usage
The latest usage percentage shows the average of API calls done in the last 4 hours.
Average Usage
The average of API calls done in a minute. Let's say, for example, the rate limit is 400 - this means you can call a maximum of 400 API calls in a minute, but you make only 100 API calls in a minute. This means the average usage is 25% (100/400 *100).
Burst Limit
The burst limit is the API limit that is allocated for a specific period of time.
Apart from these metrics, there are two other metrics available. You can download these metrics.
- Request Count - The number of API requests in the selected time period.
- Violation Count - The number of violation counts in the selected time period.
