Rate Limit Headers
Rate Limit expresses a service level agreement in the form of a permissible number of API requests that can be made within a given time interval.
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
| RateLimit-Policy | Conveys the quota policies that apply to the client. For example, RateLimit-Policy: 10;w=1, 50;w=60 conveys two service limits within a single policy indicating that 10 requests can be made per second but only 50 requests in a 1 minute window. |
| RateLimit-Limit | The maximum number of requests that the client is allowed to make in this window. |
| RateLimit-Remaining | The number of requests allowed in the current window. |
| RateLimit-Reset | The relative time in seconds when the rate limit window will be reset. |
Since there is more than one service limit the trio of headers must be set to the service limit that is closest to reaching its limit.
