Rate Limits
Rate limits ensure fair usage and optimal performance of the grapeminds API for all users.
Current Limits
| Plan | Requests / Minute | Requests / Day |
|---|---|---|
| Trial (14 days) | 60 | 1.000 |
| Standard | 120 | 10.000 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom |
Rate Limit Headers
Every API response includes headers to help you track your remaining quota:
X-RateLimit-Limit
The maximum number of requests allowed per minute.
X-RateLimit-Remaining
The number of requests remaining in the current window.
Retry-After
Seconds to wait before retrying (only present when rate limited).
When you hit the limit
If you exceed the rate limit, you will receive a 429 response:
429
Too Many Requests
{
"message": "Too Many Attempts.",
"retry_after": 30
}Best Practices
Cache responses where possible to reduce the number of API calls.
Implement exponential backoff when encountering 429 errors.
Monitor the X-RateLimit-Remaining header to proactively avoid hitting limits.
Use pagination to fetch data in smaller batches instead of requesting large datasets.
