Federal Trade Commission Rate Limits

Rate limiting on the FTC API is enforced by api.data.gov (API Umbrella), not by the FTC application. Limits below are the gateway operator's published values plus headers observed live against https://api.ftc.gov/v0/dnc-complaints on 2026-09-09. This file replaces a 2026-05-04 scaffold whose tiers (10/min free, 100/min professional, monthly quotas, 503 semantics) were invented — the FTC publishes none of those.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, across the registered and demo tiers, measuring requests.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and unauthenticated.

Tagged areas include Antitrust, Consumer Protection, Do Not Call, Federal Government, and Law Enforcement.
