Lever · Rate Limits

Lever Rate Limits

Lever enforces a token-bucket rate limit on its REST API at https://api.lever.co/v1. The default sustained rate is 10 requests per second per API key with burst capacity to 20 req/s. Requests above the bucket return HTTP 429 and clients must back off.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, results, and events.

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 HR, ATS, Recruiting, Rate Limiting, and Throttling.

Backoff Strategy
Exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses. Honor any Retry-After header in the response.
