Batch processing and scripting
The Autoaddress API endpoints called directly, via an SDK, or via our jQuery Plugin are restricted to real-time address entry only. We rate limit use to prevent multi-threaded batch processing or scripting in order to protect the security, responsiveness, and reliability of our API. When rate limiting is triggered, this unfortunately also affects the real-time users for the affected license key. It may also have unexpected cost implications for customers who purchase credit packs of transactions.
If a user exceeds the request limit in a specified time window, the user will get an HTTP 429 Error Message or a "Too Many Requests" message.
If you wish to make batch or automated calls, please contact us to discuss.
Please note the following:
- The rate limiting on the real-time API is based on calculating "requests per second" every few seconds.
