Edi 214 Rate Limits
EDI 214 is a standard, not a single API; rate limits depend on the vendor moving the document (VAN, EDI-as-a-Service platform, carrier portal). Stedi, Flexport, and SPS Commerce each enforce their own throttles on REST endpoints used to submit and retrieve 214 documents.
Edi 214 Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for edi-214 on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.
It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring varies.
The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled and serviceUnavailable.
Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, EDI, X12, and Logistics.

Policies
Vendor-specific throttling
Each EDI 214 implementer enforces its own throttle; consult the vendor's developer documentation.
Backoff
Implement exponential backoff with jitter; honor Retry-After when present.
VAN store-and-forward
VAN-based delivery is asynchronous; treat 214 transmission as eventual rather than synchronous.
