Rate Limits

The REST API has rate limits in place to ensure fair usage and protect the system from abuse. Rate limits are enforced per IP address. The following operations have specific rate limits:

  • Creating a Shift: Clients can create up to 5 shifts per minute. This concerns /v2/shifts/fixed and /v2/shifts/variable endpoints.
  • Creating a Quote: Clients can create up to 20 quotes per minute. This concerns /v2/quotes endpoint.

If a client exceeds these limits, the server will respond with a status code of 429 and a message of Rate limit exceeded. Please ensure your application respects these rate limits to avoid disruptions in service.

info

If you've created 5 consecutive variable rate shifts, you'll need to wait for one to expire before creating another. Alternatively, you can manually cancel the shifts from the order page.
