Medplum Rate Limits

Machine-readable rate limit definitions for Medplum's hosted FHIR developer platform, transcribed from Medplum's published documentation at https://www.medplum.com/docs/rate-limits. Medplum enforces two independent limits: a request-count limit per IP address per minute, and a weighted "FHIR interaction load" limit that prices operations by cost.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, across the all, free, and paid tiers, measuring requests_per_minute.

Limit state is signalled in the policy, retryAfter, format, and note response headers, and 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 response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Healthcare, FHIR, Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Throttling.
