Firehydrant Rate Limits

FireHydrant publishes a single, flat API rate limit that applies per ACCOUNT, not per key — 50 requests every 10 seconds (300 per minute), shared across every API key the organization has issued. It is not tiered by plan. This artifact replaces the 2026-05-04 scaffold, whose per-tier free/professional/enterprise numbers were invented and are not what FireHydrant publishes.

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

It captures 1 rate-limit definition, across the all tier, measuring requests.

Limit state is signalled in the limit, remaining, reset, and retryAfter response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

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

Tagged areas include AIOps, Incident Management, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Retry-After
On a 429, honor the Retry-After header, which gives the number of seconds to wait before retrying. FireHydrant does not document a remaining/reset header, so a client cannot pace itself proactively — it must react to the 429.
Shared pool
Adding API keys does not add capacity. Every key on an account draws from the same 50/10s pool, so a noisy automation starves every other integration on the org.
Read replica
https://api-read.firehydrant.io/v1 is a documented read-only host with a much longer timeout for complex reads (may lag the primary by up to 30s). The docs do not state whether it has a separate rate-limit pool.
