API Rate Limits

Curious what our API rate limits are?


General Rate Limits

Unless otherwise stated, all of our endpoints are rate limited to 300/min per API key, no edge rate limiting.
​
This means that any of the endpoints (i.e GET /api/torrents/mylist) are each limited to 300 uses every minute each.



Specific Rate Limits

The following endpoints are limited to 60/hour:
​

POST /api/usenet/createusenetdownload

POST /api/webdl/createwebdownload
​
This means you can use these endpoints a maximum of 60 times an hour.
​
The following endpoint is limited to 60/hour for specifically uncached items:
​
POST /api/torrents/createtorrent
​
If your added torrents are cached, the 60/hour limit will be ignored in favour of the 300/minute one, otherwise if they are uncached you will be limited at 60 times an hour.
​
This also means that if you're adding uncached torrents, they contribute to the original 300/minute limit on top of the 60/hour limit.
​
This is explained in further detail here.


All of these rate limits are per API key as mentioned earlier as well as they're synchronized across all our servers.
​
It is also important to note that these limits are subject to change as we see fit.
