API usage limits

For security reasons there is a limit on the number of consecutive requests that can be made to the Web Api. This is easily understood because as all requests are on the same environment, and regardless of whether it scales, such a situation could compromise the performance of the application. Thus the following rules are applied.

• 60 requests can be placed per minute;
• Requests are counted per subscription.

Exceeding the limit

When the limit is exceeded, error 429 is returned (Too many requests), resulting in the Web API not being able to make any more requests, and having to wait a minute to make requests again.
