Kanye Rest Rate Limits

Kanye REST is a free, unauthenticated single-purpose API hosted on Cloudflare Workers. The maintainer does not publish any per-key, per-IP, or per-account request-rate limits in the project README or on the kanye.rest landing page. Because the service runs on the Cloudflare Workers Free plan, traffic is subject to Cloudflare's underlying platform protections (Workers daily request caps, sub-request limits, and CDN-edge DDoS / abuse mitigation), but these are not surfaced as documented API contracts. Consumers should treat the API as best-effort and apply client-side throttling, caching, and exponential backoff.

Kanye Rest Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for kanye.rest on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_second and varies.

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 4 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled and serverError.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Personality, Quotes, Open Source, and Cloudflare Workers.

Limits

Documented per-key request rate key
requests_per_second
not documented — service does not publish per-key or per-account rate limits
The provider does not publish numeric request-rate limits. Plan for best-effort access and degrade gracefully.
Platform-level Cloudflare Workers Free plan caps account
varies
see https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/limits/
Underlying runtime is Cloudflare Workers (Free plan). The Cloudflare platform applies its own daily request caps, sub-request limits, CPU time limits, and edge abuse-mitigation policies that effectively bound throughput regardless of the absence of provider-defined limits.
Edge DDoS / abuse mitigation IP
varies
enforced opaquely by Cloudflare edge
Excessive request rates from a single source IP may trigger Cloudflare's standard bot / DDoS protection (challenge pages, 429s, or temporary blocks) independently of any provider-defined limit.

Policies

Apply client-side throttling
Because no published limits exist, consumers should self-throttle (e.g. 1 request per second per client) and cache the /quotes response rather than refetching the full collection per request.
Use exponential backoff on 429 / 5xx
On HTTP 429 or 5xx responses, back off exponentially before retrying. The API has no Retry-After header and no remaining-budget header to consult, so blind backoff is the safest strategy.
Prefer /quotes for bulk usage
If a consumer needs many quotes, call GET /quotes once and sample locally rather than calling GET / repeatedly. This reduces edge load and avoids triggering Cloudflare's per-IP mitigations.
No authentication, no per-key quota
The service does not issue API keys, so all consumers share the same anonymous bucket from the perspective of the upstream edge.
