Throttling
The API throttling level has been set for each Partner per API. If you try to exceed the limits, your API calls will be returned with an error: 429, “Too Many Requests.”
The following table represents the default throttling limits. If you find that you are exceeding the levels listed below, review your algorithms and optimize for fewer calls. If you still encounter errors, contact Partner Support and request a higher throttling threshold.
