Rate limiting
We implement rate limiting for security and performance optimization. By limiting the number of requests hitting our API, we can manage request volume at scale, keeping Moov’s platform reliable for the many developers and platforms interacting with our services.
How we use rate limits
We currently limit the number of requests by any given IP address to 40 requests per second. If you exceed the request limit for our API, all endpoints will respond with a 429 status code, indicating you have made too many requests.
What to do when you get a 429 response
The 429 response header will note how much time you have until you can retry the request.
