Rate Limits
Understanding and handling rate limits in the Pluslide API.
The Pluslide API implements rate limiting to ensure fair usage and maintain service stability.
Rate Limit Overview
| Plan | Rate Limit |
|---|---|
| Free | 3 requests / 10 sec |
| Paid | 100 requests / 10 sec |
Rate limits are applied per API key. All authenticated API endpoints are subject to rate limiting.
Rate Limit Response
When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns:
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 10{
"error": "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED",
"message": "Too many requests. Please wait before retrying."
}Handling Rate Limits
When you receive a 429 response, wait for the time specified in the Retry-After header before retrying.
For detailed implementation patterns including exponential backoff and request queuing, see Handle Rate Limits.
Increasing Limits
If you need higher rate limits:
- Upgrade your plan: Paid tier includes 100 requests per 10 seconds
- Contact sales: For enterprise requirements, request custom limits
- Optimize usage: Combine slides into fewer requests
