Handling Rate Limits
When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns a429 Too Many Requests
status code. The response includes:
Best Practices
- Implement exponential backoff - When receiving a 429 response, wait before retrying
- Monitor rate limit headers - Track your usage to avoid hitting limits
- Spread requests over time - Avoid bursts/concurrent requests
- Cache responses - Store frequently accessed data locally when possible
