Rate Limit
Mercado Eletrônico's APIs have a feature known as Rate Limit, which sets a limit on the number of requests that can be made within a specific period of time. Specifically, our rate limit is applied per minute.
When using our APIs, it's crucial to consider the per-minute rate limit and regularly check the RateLimit-Remaining header to ensure that you stay within the established limits. This will help avoid service interruptions due to excessive requests and ensure a stable and successful integration with our services.
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
| RateLimit-Limit | The maximum number of requests that can be made in one minute from an API Key. By default, this value is 240. |
| RateLimit-Remaining | The number of remaining requests for that minute. |
| RateLimit-Reset | The total number of seconds until the rate limit is reset. |
After the limit is exceeded, all requests are throttled and return the following error:
Text
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
{
"message": "API rate limit exceeded"
