Drip · Rate Limits

Drip Rate Limits

Drip publishes its rate limits in the API reference and returns them at runtime. The standard limit is 3,600 requests per hour; batch endpoints are capped much lower at 50 requests per hour but carry up to 1,000 records each, which is how Drip expects high-volume imports to be done. Two endpoints carry their own separate, tighter limits. Two different 429 envelopes are in use — the global limiter returns a bare {"message", "documentation"} object, while the newer per-endpoint limiters return the standard errors[] envelope and a Retry-After header.

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

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_hour, recipients_per_request, and requests_per_day.

Limit state is signalled in the request, response, standard, and standard_note response headers.

Tagged areas include Email Marketing, Marketing Automation, E-Commerce, Customer Engagement, and Campaigns.

Explicitly "its own rate limit, separate from the standard API rate limit". The same endpoint also enforces argument limits — a 366-day maximum date range, 25 workflow_ids per request, and 1,000 resolved emails — rejected with 400 bad_request rather than 429.
