Rate Limiting

API requests are rate-limited per API key to ensure fair usage and platform stability.

Rate Limit Headers

When you approach your limit, plan your requests accordingly. If you exceed the limit:

json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED",
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded. Try again later.",
    "status": 429
  }
}

Best Practices

  • Cache responses for dealer and inventory data — these change infrequently
  • Use webhooks instead of polling for quote status updates
  • Batch your quote requests rather than sending them in rapid succession
  • Contact support if you need a higher rate limit for your use case
