Rate Limiting

The Aikido Public API implements rate limiting to ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all users.

Default Rate Limits

Standard Rate Limit: 20 API calls per minute per workspace
Enhanced Rate Limit: 50 API calls per minute per workspace (Only available on request)

Rate limiting is enforced on a per-workspace basis using the following criteria:

When you exceed the rate limit:

{
  "error": "You have reached the maximum number of calls per minute. (20 calls per minute)"
}

The Retry-After header will indicate when you can make your next request.

When you receive a 429 response, wait for the time specified in the Retry-After header before retrying.

Track your API call frequency to stay within limits and avoid rate limiting.

Combine multiple operations into single API calls where the API supports it.

Implement proper error handling for 429 responses in your application.
