Rate Limiting

API calls are rate limited to prevent bursts of incoming traffic to help maximize stability. These limits are account-wide rather than per-user restrictions, meaning all API activity within your Vantage account contributes to these thresholds. These limits include a general rate limit of 1,000 requests per hour across all API endpoints, and a more restrictive limit of 5 requests per 5 seconds, specifically for Cost Report endpoints. If a client is rate limited, the API will return a 429 status code. If you need higher rate limits, contact support@vantage.sh. Three headers are returned with every API response that indicate how close the client is to being rate limited and when the limit will reset.

Header	Description
`x-rate-limit-limit`	The total limit for the given period of time.
`x-rate-limit-remaining`	The number of requests remaining in the current rate limit window.
`x-rate-limit-reset`	The time at which the current rate limit window resets to the value in `x-rate-limit-limit`, provided in Unix time.

Example:

x-rate-limit-limit: 1000
x-rate-limit-remaining: 995
x-rate-limit-reset: 1619380800
