Edlink Rate Limits

The Edlink API applies per-access-token rate limits to Graph, User, and Meta API requests. Clients paginate large result sets with cursor-based pagination ($first / $after) rather than fetching unbounded data, and are expected to use the change events stream for incremental sync instead of repeatedly re-reading the full graph. Specific numeric request-per-second or request-per-minute ceilings are not publicly itemized and are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and records.

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

Tagged areas include Education, EdTech, Rostering, SIS, and LMS.

Policies

Cursor Pagination
Use $first with $after / $before cursors to page through large result sets efficiently.
Incremental Sync
Consume the change events stream to sync only deltas instead of re-fetching the full graph.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
