Rate Limiting
The Everflow API is subject to per entity rate limits
Quotas
The following table details the request limits for each type of entity. The quotas are shared between all users of entity. For example, different network employee api keys from a network count towards the same quota.
| User | Queries per second |
|---|---|
| Network | 20 |
| Affiliate | 5 |
| Advertiser | 5 |
Rate Limiting
Rate limiting resets every 30 seconds. Every request contains the following headers:
| Header | Purpose |
|---|---|
| X-RateLimit-Limit | The number of requests you can make each 30 seconds |
| X-RateLimit-Remaining | The number of requests you can still make for the current 30 seconds window |
Once you reach your limit, requests will all return a 429 error code until your 30 seconds window resets.
BigQuery Quotas
Most of the reporting endpoints in Everflow gets data in MySQL, but some data are only available in BigQuery. Calls using BigQuery are limited by hour. Please note that the Affiliate and Advertiser quotas is applicable to all activities at the network level, not per affiliate / advertiser.
| User | Queries per hour |
|---|---|
| Network | 500 |
| Affiliate | 500 |
| Advertiser | 500 |
Important : The number of queries is rate limited per period of 60 minutes but doesn’t necessarily match the start and end of the hour. Rate limiting will kick in whenever the number of requests exceeds the limit over any rolling period of 60 minutes.
If a call contains at least one of the following columns, it is made in BigQuery.
