Hello
I’m building custom UI on top of your API.
Could you help me with your API limits?
In there any throttling specified?

Hello @dpetrenko! I think this is the answer you’re looking for:

> Hi @Diagonal, we have decided to not implement any API usage limits in the hosted version for now. We do expect fair usage of the API of course and will reach out if someone is excessively using it, but there is no limit for now. This might change at some point in the future. The self hosted version will never have API usage limits.

Even though the usage (amount of requests) is not limited, we do have a maximum of 20 requests per second on the hosted version. This is with a fair use policy, so if you have a complicated schema and are firing lots of requests, we could temporarily deactivate your account. The self hosted version doesn’t have any limits at all.

Thanks, thats great to know. Maybe that information of the API rate limit could be added to the FAQ, that currently only talks about “10 concurrent connections” in general. My search let me here, but I am not sure, if that rate limit is still current (2 years later).

Hi @star26bsd, thanks for your suggestion. We’ll update it in our FAQ.
