Benevity Rate Limits
Benevity does not publish fixed numeric request-rate limits for the Giving, Causes, Spark, or Location Services APIs in its public developer documentation. OAuth 2.0 access tokens are valid for 3600 seconds (expires_in), and the docs explicitly advise reusing a token until expiry rather than requesting a new one per call "to optimize performance and avoid rate limiting issues" - implying a token-request limiter exists on /oauth2/token even though no number is published. The production API targets ~99.9% uptime outside of a recurring maintenance window (Saturday nights, 6:00pm-12:00am MT, roughly every 5 weeks); a separate sandbox (api.benevity-staging.org) targets uptime during business hours only.
Benevity Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Benevity on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.
It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and availability.
The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled.
Tagged areas include Corporate Social Responsibility, Workplace Giving, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.
