Paligo API

Rate limiting

The Paligo API is enforces rate limiting. This means that only a certain number of requests are allowed per minute depending on your plan and the endpoint. Paligo reserves the right to adjust the rate limits at any time to provide a high quality of service for all clients. If a client repeatedly exceeds the rate limits, or engages in behavior that is deemed to be suspicious - Paligo reserves the right to temporarily or permanently suspend the API key of the requests.

When a client exceeds the rate limit for, the Paligo API will return a Retry-After header, which contains the time in seconds that the client needs to wait before sending another request.

The following tables describes the current rate limits:
