Ferc Rate Limits

FERC publishes one rate limit, on the Open Data API: 1,000 requests per hour per API key, reset on a rolling basis, enforced by the api.data.gov API Umbrella gateway. Exceeding it temporarily blocks the key. Higher limits are granted by contacting support — no published tier ladder. The eForms XBRL API publishes no rate limit.

It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring requests_per_hour.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled.
