# Rate limiting

To avoid abuse of the API, it is rate limited to a maximum of 1000 requests per minute. 

If that limit is exceeded then a standard **HTTP 429 Too Many Requests** will be returned as a response.

```json
{
    "message": "Too Many Attempts. You may try again in 38 seconds.",
    "error": "rate-limit"
}
```

In the **retry-after** http response header there will be the value in seconds after which your requests will start succeeding again.

`retry-after: 38`
