Airbase Rate Limits

Airbase does not publish public numeric rate limits for its developer API. The API reference sits behind an account-gated developer portal (developer.airbase.io), so any per-account or per-endpoint request limits are governed inside the customer's Airbase/Paylocity tenant and are not documented in the open. Standard REST client hygiene - exponential backoff with jitter, honoring Retry-After on HTTP 429, and idempotent retries - should be assumed.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and events.

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 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Spend Management, Paylocity, Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Gated API.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
Account-Gated Governance
Because access is provisioned per Airbase/Paylocity tenant, effective limits are enforced and communicated within the account rather than via public documentation.
