Fourthwall Rate Limits

Fourthwall's Platform (Open) API enforces per-shop rate limits. Most read and standard endpoints allow roughly 100 requests per 10 seconds per shop. Resource-creation endpoints are more tightly limited, typically around 5 requests per minute, and media / digital-file upload-URL endpoints around 20 requests per minute. The Storefront API is designed for high-read, customer-facing traffic. When a limit is exceeded the API responds with HTTP 429; clients should honor Retry-After and back off.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Policies

Per-Shop Scoping
Limits are enforced per shop, so parallel workloads against the same shop share the same budget.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on HTTP 429 responses and honor any Retry-After header.
