Handling Rate Limits

When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests status code. To handle rate limits effectively:
  1. Monitor the rate limit headers to track your usage
  2. Implement exponential backoff when you receive a 429 response
  3. Space out your requests to stay within the limits
  4. Consider batching operations where possible to reduce the number of API calls
