API rate limits

Salsa limits the number of requests that can be made by a single IP or API token to ensure a smooth user experience and protect our infrastructure from abuse. The sections below detail the rate limits for requests originating from either an IP address or an API token.

IP rate limit

Users are allowed to send up to 3000 requests every 5 minutes from the same IP address.

API Token rate limit

Users with an API token can send up to 3000 requests every 5 minutes, regardless of their IP address.

Rate limited Response

When the rate limit is reached or exceeded, Salsa will respond with a 429 - Too Many Requests HTTP status code.
