Limits on API requests

In order to provide fast response times to all our customers, we may limit excessive requests made to the Strike API. The limits are specific to the type of operation and allow for a certain number of requests to be made within a given time period.

The following API request limits are in effect and subject to change:

OperationEndpointLimitTimeout
Invoice creation/v1/invoices/250 requests / 1 minute1 minute
Invoice quote generation/v1/invoices/:invoiceId/quote250 requests / 1 minute1 minute
All othersAll others1,000 requests / 10 minutes1 hour

Once an individual IP address exceeds a request limit, that IP address will enter the timeout period. During timeout, the Strike API will return an HTTP 429 “Too Many Requests” response. Included in the 429 response will be a retry-after header to indicate when the timeout period will end and regular API responses are expected to resume.

If your application will likely exceed the above limits, please contact api@strike.me to discuss potential solutions.
