Climate Engine Rate Limits

Climate Engine enforces per-account request quotas on the commercial API. Each API key is provisioned with a quota that caps the number of processing requests over a period; quota usage and remaining allowance are returned by the GET /home/user/quotas endpoint. Because Climate Engine processing runs on Google Earth Engine, requests are also subject to upstream Earth Engine compute behavior. Specific numeric quota values are account-specific and not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and compute.

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

Tagged areas include Climate, Geospatial, Remote Sensing, Satellite, and Earth Observation.

see provider documentation
Processing runs on Google Earth Engine and inherits upstream compute behavior.

Policies

Quota Provisioning
Quotas are assigned per API key by the Climate Engine team and vary by agreement.
Quota Inspection
Clients can poll GET /home/user/quotas to monitor usage and remaining allowance.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
