Rate limits
Learn about Dub’s API rate limits.
Dub’s API rate limiting is in conformance with the IETF standard:
| Header Name | Description |
|---|---|
X-RateLimit-Limit | The maximum number of requests that the consumer is permitted to make per hour. |
X-RateLimit-Remaining | The number of requests remaining in the current rate limit window. |
X-RateLimit-Reset | The time at which the current rate limit window resets in UTC epoch seconds. |
Retry-After | The number of seconds to wait before retrying the request again. |
Dub’s API is capped at 600 requests per minute per key on the Free plan, with elevated limits for Pro plan and above.
This is implemented to ensure a fair usage policy so that excessive use by a single user does not adversely affect the performance and usage of the API by others.
You’ll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response code if the rate limit is exceeded.
