Ninjavan Rate Limits

Ninja Van does not publish fixed numeric rate limits for the ninjaAPI in its public documentation. Practical throughput is governed by the OAuth2 token lifecycle (tokens are short-lived and should be cached and reused rather than re-minted per request; regenerate only within about five minutes of expiry or on an HTTP 401) and by the integration audit that gates production access. Access to some endpoints is explicitly gated: waybill generation requires prior approval, and the sandbox is restricted to the Singapore (sg) country code.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and tokens.

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 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled, unauthorized, and forbidden.

Tagged areas include Logistics, Last-Mile Delivery, Shipping, Southeast Asia, and Rate Limiting.

Waybill Generation account
requests
access-gated
Requires prior access approval from Ninja Van before the endpoint can be used.
Sandbox Country Scope environment
requests
Singapore (sg) only
The sandbox environment only supports the sg country code.

Policies

Token Caching
Store the access token and its expiry; reuse until close to expiry to avoid unnecessary token requests.
Backoff Strategy
Implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses; re-authenticate on 401.
Integration Audit
Production access is granted only after passing Ninja Van's integration audit, which includes generating sample orders.
