DAT Freight & Analytics · Rate Limits

Dat Freight Rate Limits

DAT does not publish numeric API rate limits on its public site, and its developer portal reference is gated behind an account login, so no official per-minute or per-day request caps could be confirmed during this build. A third-party integration write-up cites throttling around 100 requests/minute, but it is unclear whether this is a DAT-enforced limit or an integrator recommendation - treat it as an unconfirmed estimate. Access itself is gated by subscription and seat entitlements (load board seat + Connexion for loads, RateView seat + Connexion for rates) rather than by a published quota.

Dat Freight Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for DAT Freight & Analytics on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

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

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

Tagged areas include Freight, Load Board, RateView, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.
