HOTFIX: 2014.2, 2014.3 - API Rate Limiting

API rate limiting has been implemented.

API requests per store are currently limited to 50 calls in a 10 second window. This allows for some small bursting inside that 10 second timeframe but doesn't allow for anything too crazy. This adds up to an overall limit of 18000 requests per hour.

All API responses will include information about the current count:



When the limit has been exhausted, the API response will change to 429 - Too Many Requests. An additional Retry-After header will be added to the response with the time that the counter will reset.

Note: some of this information could possibly change in the future, and vary according to plan level.
