Awin · Rate Limits

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 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, days, orders, transaction objects, and short links.

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.

Limits

Requests Per Minute user
requests
20
Platform-wide throttle shared across all accounts the user token can access. Documented on the API introduction page.
Create Offers Requests Per Minute endpoint
requests
50
The Post Offers page states a 50 calls-per-minute limitation on that surface, which contradicts the platform-wide 20/min figure on the introduction page. Awin does not reconcile the two. Recorded as published; treat 20/min as the safe planning figure.
Transaction Date Range request
days
31
Maximum span between startDate and endDate on the transaction list endpoints.
Conversion API Batch Size request
orders
1000
Maximum orders per batch on POST /s2s/advertiser/{advertiser_id}/orders. The docs also prescribe a batching CADENCE - not shorter than 10 seconds (to stay inside the call limit) and not longer than 60 seconds (or the S2S call loses tracking-method priority).
Batch Validation Size request
transaction objects
40000
Maximum transaction objects in one POST /advertisers/{advertiserId}/transactions/batch request.
Link Builder Short-Link Quota account
short links
A per-publisher 24-hour cap on generated short links. The value is account-specific and not published - it is readable at runtime from GET /publishers/{publisherId}/linkbuilder/quota, which returns limit (max in 24hrs) and usage (generated in the last 24hrs). This is the ONLY runtime quota signal Awin exposes anywhere in the API.

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.
