Awin Affiliate Rate Limits

Awin operates a single platform-wide throttle across its API. The documented limit is 20 API calls per minute per user; because tokens are set at the user level, the limit is shared across every publisher and advertiser account the token can reach. Some endpoints impose their own request-scoping constraints rather than a separate rate limit - for example, the transactions endpoints cap each request to a date range of at most 31 days.

Awin Affiliate Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Awin on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

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

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Affiliate Marketing, Advertising, Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Throttling.

Policies

User-Level Scope
Rate limiting is applied per user, not per account. A token that reaches many accounts still shares one 20-call-per-minute budget.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should throttle to stay under 20 calls/min, implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses, and batch date ranges in chunks of up to 31 days for transaction pulls.
