Audius · Rate Limits

Audius Rate Limits

Audius hosts apply rate limits at the discovery-node level to prevent abuse, but the network is decentralized and individual host operators set their own thresholds. There is no documented global rate limit. Clients are encouraged to send an app-name header for attribution.

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

It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring requests.

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 Music, Streaming, Decentralized, Web3, and Open Source.
