Place API
Rate limits
All requests sent from a specific API consumer to the Place API may be subject to a rate limit.
Rate limiting restricts the number of requests the API accepts for processing over a given time period (time window) to ensure stability and prevent misuse. If the number of requests exceeds the rate limit, then subsequent requests are rejected.
Note: If your requests are subject to rate limiting, the responses you receive will include header information about the status of the rate limit.
The following rate limits may apply:
| Header | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| x-ratelimit-limit | The number of requests allowed per minute | 59 - Rate limit of 59 requests |
| x-ratelimit-remaining | The number of requests left in the time window of 1 minute | 10 – Rate limit of 10 requests |
| x-ratelimit-reset | The time window, within which requests are counted, for determining the rate limit (milliseconds) | 60000 - Time window of 1 Minute, the time bound applied to the rate limiting |
Other rate limits
| Header | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
/onts/onts/{ontId} | Limits applied to /onts and /onts/{ontId} resources only | Standard: 30 per minute Burst limit: 5 per 5-second |
| Any resource | Limits applied to resources that are not specifically rate limited | Standard: 120 per minute Burst limit: 15 per 5-second |
