Rate limits: Enterprise
Overview
Every day many thousands of developers make requests to the X API. To help manage the sheer volume of these requests, limits are placed on the number of requests that can be made. These limits help us provide the reliable and scalable API that our developer community relies on.
The maximum number of requests that are allowed is based on a time interval, some specified period or window of time. If an endpoint has a rate limit of 900 requests/15-minutes, then up to 900 requests over any 15-minute interval is allowed.
