Nacelle · Rate Limits

Nacelle Rate Limits

Nacelle does not publish explicit numeric request-per-minute quotas for its Storefront GraphQL API. Instead, the documentation defines hard per-request constraints: a 10 MB maximum response payload and a 20-second request timeout. Automatic Persisted Queries (APQ) are supported so repeated queries can be cached at the CDN edge with roughly a 60-second TTL, reducing origin load. Any account-level throttling is governed by enterprise contract terms rather than a public rate card.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring bytes, seconds, and requests.

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

Tagged areas include Commerce, Headless Commerce, GraphQL, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Policies

Automatic Persisted Queries (APQ)
Persisted queries let repeated Storefront requests be served from the CDN edge cache (~60s TTL), lowering origin request pressure.
Pagination
Use Relay-style cursor pagination (first / after) to bound response size and stay within the 10 MB payload and 20s timeout limits.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor any Retry-After header on 429 responses.
