Loyaltylion Rate Limits

LoyaltyLion documents a single published rate limit for its v2 API - 20 requests per second across all endpoints unless otherwise stated. This is a request-rate cap applied to the authenticated program/API key rather than a per-endpoint quota. Beyond the request rate, effective throughput is shaped by your LoyaltyLion plan (which is sized by monthly order volume) rather than by a separate API call quota.

Loyaltylion Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for LoyaltyLion on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and records.

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

Tagged areas include Loyalty, Rewards, E-commerce, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Limits

Global Request Rate api-key
requests
20 per second
Applies to all endpoints unless otherwise stated.
Page Size request

500 max per page (default 100)
The limit query parameter caps results per request; use cursors to page.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
On a 429 response, back off with exponential delay and jitter and honor any Retry-After header before retrying.
Cursor Pagination
Use the cursor returned in each response to page through large result sets rather than the deprecated page parameter.
Scoped Keys
Program API keys carry scopes (for example read_customers); requests outside a key's scope are rejected rather than throttled.
