Glide Apps Rate Limits

The Glide REST API constrains usage through response-size limits and plan-based consumption rather than published per-second request quotas. The Get Rows endpoint returns at most 10,000 rows per response and uses a continuation token for further pages. Data changes made through the API count as Updates against the workspace plan's monthly Updates allowance, so the effective throughput ceiling is governed by the plan tier (REST get-rows and SQL querying require Business or Enterprise). Specific per-minute request thresholds are not publicly documented.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring rows, updates, capability, and requests.

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

Tagged areas include No Code, App Builder, Tables, Big Tables, and Rate Limiting.

Limits

Rows Per Response request
rows
10000
Maximum rows returned by Get Rows in a single response; use the continuation token for more.
Monthly Updates Allowance account
updates
plan-dependent
API-driven data changes consume the plan's included Updates (250 / 500 / 5,000 / custom); overage billed at $0.02 per Update.
API Access Tier account
capability
Business and Enterprise only
Get Rows and SQL querying of Big Tables require a Business or Enterprise plan.
Per-Minute Request Rate account
requests
see provider documentation
No public per-minute request quota is documented; clients should backoff on 429.

Policies

Pagination
Get Rows returns a continuation token when results exceed 10,000 rows; resubmit with the token to page through.
Backoff Strategy
On HTTP 429 clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and retry.
Plan-Gated Throughput
Effective sustained throughput is bounded by the workspace plan's monthly Updates allowance.
