Rate Limits
All Source Systems have hard or soft rate limits.
Agave API will return a rate limit error with the HTTP status code 429 - Too Many Requests when the request rate limit for
a Linked Account is reached. You can use the
rate limits endpoint
to get the current rate limits of a Linked Account.
When possible, we return both Agave's rate limit and the Source System's rate limit in the response headers. See Response Headers for more info.
We recommend adding an exponential backoff to your requests to ensure retry requests do not get rate-limited.
In addition to rate limits imposed by the Source Systems, Agave imposes two additional rate limits:
- A maximum of 150 requests per minute per Linked Account for all Source Systems.
- A maximum of 15 concurrent requests (across all Linked Accounts) and 10 concurrent requests (per Linked Account) to certain Source Systems, as outlined below.
