Fortify Rate Limits

Fortify on Demand exposes a REST API at api.emea.fortify.com / api.ams.fortify.com / api.apac.fortify.com with OAuth2 client credentials. OpenText does not publish numeric per-second rate limits in the public docs; throttles are per-tenant and oriented around long-running scan submission and result-retrieval operations. Self-managed Fortify SSC has no platform-imposed API limit.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring varies and requests_per_second.

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

Tagged areas include Application Security, DAST, SAST, SCA, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Async Scan Submission
Static, dynamic, and mobile scan submissions return a scan ID immediately and run asynchronously. Poll the scan-status endpoint with backoff rather than re-submitting.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429/5xx and honor Retry-After.
Token Lifetime
OAuth2 access tokens have limited lifetime; refresh ahead of expiry rather than retrying after 401.
Region Routing
Use the region-specific FoD endpoint (EMEA, AMS, APAC) matching the tenant; cross-region calls are not supported.
