API Reference
Rate limits
Learn about Formbox’s API rate limits.
Formbox’s API rate limiting is in conformance with the IETF standard:
Header Name | Description |
---|---|
X-RateLimit-Limit | The maximum number of requests that the consumer is permitted to make per hour. |
X-RateLimit-Remaining | The number of requests remaining in the current rate limit window. |
X-RateLimit-Reset | The time at which the current rate limit window resets in UTC epoch seconds. |
Retry-After | The number of seconds to wait before retrying the request again. |
Formbox’s API is capped at 600 requests per minute per key on all plans. This could could change in the future as we continue to improve the API.
This is implemented to ensure a fair usage policy so that excessive use by a single user does not adversely affect the performance and usage of the API by others.
You’ll receive a 429 Too Many Requests
response code if the rate limit is exceeded.
