Keen Rate Limits

Keen enforces per-minute rate limits per request type (events have no limit; ad-hoc queries and extractions are 200/min; updates and deletes are 10/min). The platform also applies fuzzy per-organization query concurrency limits and hard payload/response size caps. When a limit is hit all requests of that type are blocked for the next minute and return 429.

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

It captures 13 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute, concurrent_requests, events_scanned, events_extracted, and bytes.

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, quotaExceeded, and queryTimeout.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Analytics, and Event Analytics.

Policies

Block-and-cool
When a per-minute request-type limit is exceeded, all requests of that type are blocked for the next minute. Restrictions lift automatically once volume drops below the threshold.
Backoff
Clients should pause and retry after the one-minute window when receiving 429 responses.
Cached-first
Cached queries and cached datasets bypass the ad-hoc query rate limit and should be preferred for high-frequency dashboards.
Concurrency tuning
Concurrency limits are fuzzy and workload-dependent; clients should serialize heavy queries and batch ingestion where possible.
