Rate limits

To ensure fair usage of our APIs, we employ rate limiting. Currently, the limit is 500 requests/minute per API Key.

Once you exceed the limit, you will receive the following response with a 429 statuscode:

{
    "errorMessage": "Too many requests. We allow 500 requests per minute.",
    "httpStatusCode": 429,
    "errorCode": 26,
    "friendlyError": "Please retry your request after the seconds indicated in the 'retry-after' response-header.",
    "helpMessage": "For more information about rate limiting, visit our documentation.",
    "helpLink": "https://docs.lassox.com/api/getting-started/rate-limits/"
}

As the friendlyError indicates, you will receive a response-header named 'retry-after', containing the seconds you must wait before you send another request.

How are the requests counted?

The rate limit works in such a way, that the first request will start the window of requests, and after one minute the request window will reset. This effectively means that you cannot make another request before the number of seconds in the retry-after header has passed.
