Rate limits
Which calls are rate limited and how to handle a 429.
Only POST /partnerapi/v2/quote-groups is rate limited. Reads (GET) and adjustments (PATCH) are not.
The limit is checked before the get-or-create lookup, so every POST counts, including one that returns an existing quote group.
| Window | Default limit (per account) |
|---|---|
| Rolling 5 minutes | 20 requests |
| Rolling 24 hours | 500 requests |
Your account may be configured with different limits.
When you hit the limit
The API responds with 429 and error.code set to rate_limited. The Retry-After header gives the number of seconds to wait before trying again.
