API Basics
Rate Limiting
Understanding and working with API rate limits
To ensure fair usage and system stability, the Ping Proxies API implements rate limiting. This page explains our rate limits and how to work with them effectively.
Rate Limit Policy
The Ping Proxies API enforces a default rate limit of 10 requests per second per customer. This applies to most endpoints, with some exceptions:
- Some resource-intensive endpoints may have lower rate limits
Rate limiting helps us:
- Protect the API from excessive traffic
- Ensure fair access for all users
- Maintain reliable service performance
Rate Limit Exceeded Response
If you exceed the rate limit, you’ll receive a 429 Too Many Requests
response with a body like:
Increase Your Rate Limit
Need Higher Limits?
We can customize rate limits on a per-customer basis with proper justification.
