# Rate Limiting

Vouched enforces a rate limiting policy on API requests to maintain the stability and reliability of our identity verification services.​

<br />

## 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, <support@vouched.id>.

## 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.
