Rate Limits

Requests are rate limited per API key (or per source IP if no key is presented) across two windows:

If either limit is exceeded, the response is HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header (in seconds) and a standard GraphQL error body:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Rate limit exceeded: Per-minute request limit exceeded. Retry after 42s.",
      "extensions": {
        "code": "RATE_LIMITED",
        "retryAfterSeconds": 42
      }
    }
  ]
}

Back off and retry after retryAfterSeconds rather than retrying immediately. If your integration needs a higher sustained limit, contact Scout Select.
