U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data · Rate Limits

Fiscaldata Rate Limits

Treasury Fiscal Data does not publish a fixed numeric rate limit for its public API, and no API key or account is required. Access is open. In practice, clients should be considerate of a shared public government service: request only the fields you need with the fields parameter, filter server-side with the filter parameter, and page through large result sets with page[size] (maximum 10000 records per page) rather than pulling everything at once. Excessive or abusive request volume may be throttled or blocked at the network edge, but no documented per-key quota exists because there are no keys.

Fiscaldata Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and records.

The profile also includes 4 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Government Data, Treasury, Open Data, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Limits

API Requests public
requests

No fixed numeric request-rate limit is documented; access is unauthenticated and open.
Page Size request
records
10000
Maximum records returned per request via page[size]; paginate with page[number].

Policies

Server-Side Filtering
Use fields, filter, and sort to reduce payload size rather than fetching entire datasets and filtering client-side.
Pagination
Retrieve large datasets in pages of up to 10000 records using page[number] and page[size].
Polling Cadence
Poll no faster than the underlying report's update cadence (daily, monthly, or quarterly); more frequent requests return no new data.
Backoff Strategy
Implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on any 429 or transient 5xx responses from this shared public service.
