Mockaroo Rate Limits

Mockaroo enforces per-API-key daily quotas tied to the account's subscription plan. The Free plan permits 200 API requests per day; Silver allows 1,000,000 records per day; Gold allows 10,000,000 records per day; Enterprise is unlimited. Per-request record caps also vary by plan (1,000 on Free, 100,000 on Silver, 10,000,000 on Gold, unlimited on Enterprise). Synchronous generation is capped at 5,000 records per download on Free accounts when background=false; larger jobs must use the background=true flag and poll /api/downloads/{id} for status. There is no documented per-second rate limit; quotas are enforced over the rolling daily window.

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

It captures 9 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_day, records_per_request, records_per_day, and concurrent_requests.

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 quotaExceeded and throttled.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Test Data, and Mock Data.

Policies

API key scoping
All limits are scoped to the API key associated with the account. Each account has a single API key shown in the My Account page; quotas reset daily.
Quota exhaustion
Once the daily quota is exhausted the API returns HTTP 429 until the quota window resets. The mockaroo-node SDK surfaces this as a UsageLimitExceededError.
Background generation
Jobs exceeding the synchronous record cap must set background=true. Mockaroo returns a download id which can be polled via /api/downloads/{id} for status, percent complete, and the final URL.
Upgrade to raise limits
Higher per-day and per-request limits are obtained by upgrading the account plan (Free → Silver → Gold) or by deploying Enterprise via Docker for unlimited self-hosted generation.
