# Rate Limiting

### Limits

| Route group                                   | Limit        | Window     |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------ | ---------- |
| API endpoints (Recipients, Quotes, Transfers) | 100 requests | Per minute |
| Dashboard endpoints                           | 60 requests  | Per minute |
| Webhook callbacks                             | 200 requests | Per minute |

### When you hit the limit

The API returns a `429 Too Many Requests` response with a `Retry-After` header indicating how many seconds to wait.

### Best practices

* **Implement exponential backoff** — when you receive a 429, wait for the Retry-After duration then retry with increasing delays
* **Cache quotes** — avoid requesting new quotes repeatedly for the same parameters within the quote validity window
* **Batch where possible** — space multiple recipient creation requests rather than sending them all at once
* **Monitor your usage** — use the Request Logs in the dashboard to track API call volume
