Rate limiting

Learn about rate limits on Ocean.io

To ensure equitable access and maintain the stability of our system, Ocean.io imposes rate limits on API usage which vary according to your chosen pricing plan as detailed in your subscription agreement.

If the rate limit for a particular endpoint is exceeded, additional requests will be temporarily blocked until the rate limit period resets. It is crucial to adhere to these limits to avoid service interruptions and maintain optimal performance for all users.

Should you need an increased rate limit, please contact our support team.

When a rate limit is surpassed, the API will include the following headers in the response:

  • Retry-After: Indicates the number of seconds to wait before making another request.
  • X-RateLimit-Limit: Specifies the maximum number of requests permitted within the current rate limit window.
