Booking Com Rate Limits

Booking.com publishes rate limiting as prose in the Demand API development guide. Two limits are stated as concrete numbers - sandbox 50 requests per minute, and cars/search 3000 requests per minute - while the production per-account limit is deliberately unpublished and set per partner by an Account Manager. Only the Reconciliation API declares a runtime signal in its contract: a Retry-After header on 429.

Booking Com Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Booking.com on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions.

Limit state is signalled in the published, request_quota_headers, retryAfter, and retryAfter_scope response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

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

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Travel, and Hospitality.

Published as "contact your Account Manager for details on your partner account's specific rate limit". A real limit exists and is enforced, but the number is not published, so an integrator cannot size a workload from the documentation.
