Introduction

Rate limits

The IBEE Solutions API enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and platform stability.

Current limits

Rate limits are applied per token, not per workspace.

Request typeLimit
Read (GET)60 requests per minute
Write (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)20 requests per minute
Request body size10 MB
Default timeout30 seconds

Handling rate limits

When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests. Your client should wait before retrying.

Best practices:

  • Add exponential backoff with jitter to retry logic.
  • Cache responses when possible instead of re-fetching.
  • Batch operations where the API supports it rather than making individual calls.

Higher limits

If your integration needs higher rate limits, contact IBEE support.
