Donately Rate Limits

Donately does not publish fixed numeric rate limits for its REST API. The API is a standard REST/JSON interface at https://api.donately.com/v2 authenticated with an API token via HTTP Basic Auth. As with most donation platforms, callers should implement retry with exponential backoff and honor any 429 Too Many Requests responses. Donately's core value is metered by donation platform fees rather than by API request volume, so there is no per-request billing.

Donately Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Donately 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 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.
