Rate Limiting
Vouched enforces a rate limiting policy on API requests to maintain the stability and reliability of our identity verification services.
Handling Rate Limit Exceedance
If your application exceeds the rate limit, the API will respond with:
- HTTP Status Code: 429
Please ensure your application can handle this response appropriately, possibly by implementing a retry mechanism with exponential backoff.
Important Notes
- Uniform Application: All API endpoints are subject to the same rate limit.
- Rate Limit Extensions: Please reach out to use if you need a higher rate limit, [email protected].
Best Practices to Avoid Rate Limiting
- Optimize API Calls: Aggregate requests when possible to reduce the number of API calls.
- Implement Caching: Store frequent responses locally to minimize redundant requests.
- Monitor Request Rates: Keep track of the number of requests your application sends per minute.
