Activision Blizzard Rate Limits

Battle.net API limits are bound to the OAuth2 client (registered at develop.battle.net). Numerical limits are documented in the Battle.net Community Developer Portal's API guidelines; the default per-client allowance is widely cited as 100 requests per second / 36,000 requests per hour. Higher limits are granted on application via the developer portal forums.

Activision Blizzard Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Activision Blizzard on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_second and requests_per_hour.

An exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

The profile also includes 4 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Gaming, Battle.net, World Of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Diablo.

Policies

OAuth2 Client-Scoped
Limits are tracked per OAuth2 client registered through develop.battle.net; multiple tokens issued to the same client share the allowance.
Backoff
On 429 responses, back off and retry; respect any Retry-After header returned.
Limit Increase
Higher limits can be requested through the developer portal forums; commercial usage typically requires a direct agreement with Blizzard.
Region Endpoints
Use the regional API host that matches your client (us, eu, kr, tw); cross-region calls do not pool quota.
