Rate Limits can be tested on the Sandbox server using specific triggers to receive an example of what exceeding the rate limits looks like.

Rate Limits

All API and Portal request types are subject to rate-limiting. See current Rate Limits for Sandbox and Production server requests:

Period

10 seconds

Rate limits are relative to the endpoint or Portal resource where the rate limit was exceeded and do not prohibit requests from being made to other endpoints or Portal resources.

For example, if a violation occurs from a Merchant using the Create Payment page (or /txns API endpoint), it will not prohibit communication on the Users page (or /logins API endpoint) during the 10-second violation block period.

Note

Note: All HTTP Methods are subject to Rate Limiting.

Exceeding Rate Limits

Requests that exceed the designated rate limit will:

  • Be blocked from making additional requests for 10 seconds.

  • Receive a 429 HTTP status code explaining the rate limit was exceeded.

  • Receive an internal Code 64 error response message.

    • Example: If the violation occurs on requests to the /txns endpoint, it will not prohibit communication on the /merchants endpoint during the 10-second violation period.
