Jawg Maps · Rate Limits

Jawg Maps Rate Limits

Jawg enforces per-account limits along two axes: a monthly included-request quota tied to the subscription plan (shared across tiles, Places, routing, matrix, isochrone, and static maps), and a short-window requests-per-second throttle that scales up with the plan tier. Exceeding the RPS throttle returns HTTP 429; exhausting the monthly quota blocks further requests until the quota resets or an overage / upgrade is in place. Access tokens can be domain-restricted to control where they may be used.

Jawg Maps Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Jawg Maps on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

An exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

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

Tagged areas include Maps, Geospatial, Tiles, Geocoding, and Routing.

Policies

Tiered Limits
RPS throttle and monthly request quota rise as accounts move from Free to Starter, Business, and Enterprise.
Token Domain Restriction
Access tokens can be restricted to allowed domains/referrers to prevent unauthorized use.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on HTTP 429 responses.
