Rate and Usage Limits

API access rate limits apply at a per-API key basis in unit time. The limit is 300 requests per minute. Also, depending on your plan, you may have usage limits. If you exceed either limit, your request will return an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests status code.

Rate Limit Headers

Each API response returns the following set of headers to help you identify your use status:

Header	Description
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	The maximum number of requests that the consumer is permitted to make per minute.
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	The number of requests remaining in the current rate limit window.
`X-RateLimit-Reset`	The time at which the current rate limit window resets in UTC epoch seconds.

An HTTP 503 response from our servers indicates there is an unexpected spike in API access traffic. The server is usually operational within the next five minutes. If the outage persists or you receive any other form of an HTTP 5XX error, contact support@govly.com.
