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.
