Rate limits

What are rate limits?

Rate limits are an additional security measure that you can take to prevent endpoint abuse. With rate limits in place, requests to your service's endpoints will be denied if they exceed thresholds that you set in the rate limit builder. Global rate limits apply to all endpoints in your service, and are the most simple rate limit to configure. If you need more flexibility (e.g. different rate limits applied to different endpoints), please create endpoint-specific rate limits on the "Endpoints" tab.

The rate limit builder lets you set rules on the frequency of API requests allowed from individual users or individual IP addresses. Use the form on the left to tailor rules to your specific use cases.
