What is API limit?

API limiting, which is also known as rate limiting, is an essential component of Internet security, as DoS attacks can tank a server with unlimited API requests. Rate limiting also helps make your API scalable. If your API blows up in popularity, there can be unexpected spikes in traffic, causing severe lag time.

How do I get around API limits?

Reducing the number of API requests

1. Optimize your code to eliminate any unnecessary API calls.
2. Cache frequently used data.
3. Sideload related data.
4. Use bulk and batch endpoints such as Update Many Tickets, which lets you update up to 100 tickets with a single API request.

Why do APIs have rate limits?

Why you need rate limits Rate limits protect against that by curtailing the number of requests that come into your server. If your API is the target of a malicious DoS attack, for example, it can go down entirely. Rate limiting allows API developers to ensure an API will reject requests that exceed a set limit.

Issuing many long-lived requests can trigger limiting. Requests vary in the amount of Stripe’s server resources they use, and more resource-intensive requests tend to take longer and run the risk of causing new requests to be shed by the concurrency limiter.
