Dosespot Rate Limits

DoseSpot's API v2 enforces rate limits on its endpoints to safeguard against bursts of incoming traffic and maximize platform stability. When a limit is reached the API returns an HTTP 429 status code. DoseSpot also recommends using Push Notifications instead of polling to reduce request volume. Specific numeric limits are not published and are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring requests.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include e-Prescribing, eRx, Healthcare, EHR, and Pharmacy.

Limits

Endpoint Rate Limit account
requests
see provider documentation
API v2 endpoints enforce reasonable rate limits to protect against traffic bursts; exceeding returns HTTP 429.

Policies

Push Notifications Over Polling
Use DoseSpot Push Notifications to receive events rather than polling endpoints, reducing request volume and the chance of hitting limits.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on HTTP 429 responses.
