Best Buy Rate Limits

Best Buy publishes hard numeric API limits in its Terms and Conditions at developer.bestbuy.com/legal: 50,000 calls per day and 5 calls per second, applying to the Products, Reviews, Stores, Categories, Recommendations and Buying Options endpoints. Exceeding either limit returns HTTP 403 (not 429) and triggers an email notification to the key holder. The API returns NO rate-limit response headers, so an agent has no runtime signal and must count its own requests — the 403 it receives on exhaustion is indistinguishable in shape from the 403 returned for an invalid API key.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled and note.
