Heron Rate Limits
Heron enforces rate limits per API endpoint and per customer using a fixed-window algorithm (flask-limiter). Every response carries x-ratelimit-* headers advertising the limit, remaining requests, and reset time. The documented example limit is 100 requests per minute; actual limits vary per endpoint and customer.
Heron Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Heron on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.
It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring requests_per_minute.
The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.
Tagged areas include Rate Limiting and Financial Services.
