Rate Limits

The current limit is: 1,000 calls/day per account.

* A day starts at 12:00:00 and ends at 23:59:59 UTC.

Measuring your usage

Every response you receive from the API will include two additional headers specifying the number of requests that have been used and the maximum number of calls available for your account. These headers are X-Request-Usage and X-Request-Limit, respectively.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
X-Request-Limit: 1000
X-Request-Usage: 643

If you exceed the number of allowed requests you will receive an HTTP 420 error.

HTTP/1.1 420 Chill Out!
 
{
  "status": 420,
  "message": "Chill Out!",
  "additional": "used 1000 of 1000 daily requests",
  "see_also": "http://www.appfigures.com/support/faq#/question/420"
}

What if you need to make more calls?

If your needs are grander contact us and we’ll work with you to set up a limit that fits your needs.

Why limit calls?

Calls are limited to prevent abuse of the appFigures API and platform. This number may change in the future.

We monitor API calls to protect the platform and so we can learn and adjust. We may block accounts if we find that they repeatedly or excessively go over the limit, or attempt to bypass the set limit.
