How do I limit API calls?
To enforce rate limiting, first understand why it is being applied in this case, and then determine which attributes of the request are best suited to be used as the limiting key (for example, source IP address, user, API key). After you choose a limiting key, a limiting implementation can use it to track usage.
How do you prevent API rate limiting?
Avoiding rate limiting
- Spread your requests. Performing a high number of API calls in a short space of time will quickly use your rate limit.
- Caching. Cache API calls for at least a few seconds, and try to avoid making repetitive API calls.
- HTTP Headers and Response Codes.

The total number of records in your file divided by the batch size selected equals the number of batches. Each batch consumes one API call. For example, with an API request limit of 15,000 and a batch size of 200 records, it would be possible to perform operations on (15,000 X 200) or 3,000,000 records per 24 hours.
