Mention Rate Limits

Published rate limits for the Mention API. This artifact REPLACES a 2026-05-04 scaffold whose per-minute and per-month figures for Free / Professional / Enterprise tiers were invented — none of those tiers exist and none of those numbers are published. Mention publishes two concrete endpoint limits in its help center and one response header in its reference. Everything else is stated only as "limits vary based on resource types and methods".

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

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

Tagged areas include Alerts, Brand Monitoring, Media Monitoring, Social Listening, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Reset signalling
On 429, the response carries X-Rate-Limit-Reset holding the unix timestamp at which the limit resets. A client waits until that timestamp and retries.
No budget signalling
Mention returns no limit or remaining header, so a client cannot pace itself before exhaustion — the only way to learn a limit is to hit it. This is the main runtime gap for an autonomous consumer.
Prefer streaming over polling
The reference tells callers to follow _links.pull for new mentions and to "also consider using the streaming API" at https://stream.mention.net/api, which is the documented way to stay under the 3600/day listing limit.
