All our APIs endpoints are subject to rate limiting in order to provide fair and even resource allocation for all consumers.

We apply rate limits at an Organisation and Application level.

Organisation limits

30 requests per minute

Application limits

10,000 requests per minute

How to avoid rate limiting

We provide webhooks in order to notify you when Pay Run, Batch, Group and Payable statuses have changed, and therefore you should be able to avoid polling in order to keep up to date.

If you think your use case may breach these limits please contact us to discuss further options.

What happens when a request is rate limited

Requests that exceed the rate limit will be rejected with a response code of 429 Too Many Requests. The response will contain a Retry-After header containing information about when the call should be reattempted. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Retry-After
