Rate Limiting

The current limit is 450 requests / 5 minutes (300 seconds). The rate limits may change in the future and shall be communicated to all the users in advance.

If the user hits the rate limit, the user will not be able to make any more calls to the Priava API until the rate limit window is reset.

What happens when rate limits are hit?

Once the maximum limit is reached the following requests will receive a 429 response code (“Too Many Requests”). The body of the response will be a JSON error, like other errors received from the Priava API. Included in the body will be information about which limits were hit, and when you’ll be able to try again.
