Godaddy Rate Limits

GoDaddy enforces a uniform rate limit of 60 requests per minute on each API endpoint. Two environments are exposed - OTE for testing (api.ote-godaddy.com) and Production (api.godaddy.com). Certain product endpoints additionally require account eligibility thresholds (50+ domains for Availability; 1+ domain or active Discount Domain Club Pro Plan for Management/DNS).

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute and account_threshold.

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

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Domains, DNS, and Registrar.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
On 429 responses, back off and retry with jitter. Per-endpoint scoping means hot endpoints can throttle independently.
OTE vs Production
Use api.ote-godaddy.com for development and testing. OTE shares the documented per-minute cap.
Funding requirement
Purchase endpoints require a 'Good as Gold' funded account; orders fail without funded balance.
