Bold Commerce Rate Limits

Bold Commerce does not publish a single fixed numeric rate limit across all of its APIs. Bold applies per-shop / per-token throttling and returns HTTP 429 when a client exceeds the allowed request rate; clients should honor the Retry-After header and back off. Individual product APIs (Subscriptions, Checkout, Price Rules, Products) may enforce their own request-rate and pagination limits. List endpoints are paginated, which bounds response size and effective throughput. Numeric per-endpoint limits should be confirmed against Bold's developer documentation during reconciliation.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and records.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include E-Commerce, Subscriptions, Checkout, Pricing, and Rate Limiting.
