Notificationapi Rate Limits

NotificationAPI enforces per-account request rate limits on the REST API and bounds notification throughput by the monthly active user (MAU) and notification-volume allowances of the account's plan. Downstream channel providers (email, SMS, push) impose their own throughput ceilings. Specific per-endpoint request-per-second values are not published and are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, users, notifications, and messages.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Notifications, Messaging, Email, SMS, and Push.
