Each API key is limited to 120 requests per minute.
When you exceed the limit, the API responds with:
Staying within the limit
- Cache data that doesn’t change often (tutors, classrooms, subjects) rather than
re-fetching on every run.
- Page efficiently with
limit=100 instead of many small pages.
- Back off on a
429: wait, then retry with exponential backoff (e.g. 1s, 2s, 4s).
Syncing to an accounting tool? Pull once on a schedule (hourly or nightly) rather than
polling continuously — you’ll stay well under the limit and your data stays fresh enough
for reconciliation.
