API rate limits

API rate limits are restrictions placed on the number of API requests that can be made within a specific time period. They are designed to control the flow of incoming requests to improve performance, and maintain stability. These rate limits are imposed per IP address, allowed within an interval of five minutes.

For each type of request, the table below shows details about the maximum number of requests allowed within a five-minute interval.

Request type	Number of allowed requests	Time interval
GET	1200	5 minutes
POST	750	5 minutes
PATCH	200	5 minutes
PUT	300	5 minutes
OPTIONS	50	5 minutes
DELETE	300	5 minutes
