Rate Limits

The SIM API may rate limit certain transactions to protect the integrity of the service. Rate limits are applied per-route and per-account.

Exceeding a Rate Limit

The application must handle exceeding the rate limit. When a rate limit is exceeded a HTTP 429 response code will be returned with a body formatted as follows. The API will rate limit with a retry_after period in milliseconds with exponential back off.

{
    "message": "You have been posting too fast",
    "retry_after": 100
}
