Rate Limiting
To ensure the stability and availability of the SignEngine API, we implement rate limiting.
Policy
Rate limits are applied per IP address or per User ID.
- Standard Limit: 100 requests per minute (subject to change).
Handling Rate Limits
If you exceed the rate limit, the API will respond with:
- HTTP Status:
429 Too Many Requests - Header:
Retry-After: <seconds>
Best Practices
- Implement exponential backoff in your retry logic.
- Avoid polling endpoints aggressively; use webhooks where possible.
- Cache responses for static data.
