Postman Rate Limits

The Postman public API enforces a fixed per-minute request ceiling per API key (300 requests/minute) layered over per-plan monthly quotas (10k Free, 100k Solo, 1M Team, 10M Enterprise). Rate-limit state is exposed on every response via standard RateLimit and X-RateLimit headers; throttled responses return 429 with a RetryAfter hint. Monthly call budgets are enforced separately and consumption is observable from the resource-usage dashboard.

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

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute, requests_per_month, and monitoring_requests_per_month.

Limit state is signalled in the limit, remaining, reset, and policy response headers, and 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 throttled and quotaExceeded.

Tagged areas include API Development, Collaboration, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Backoff on RetryAfter
When a 429 is returned, clients must honor the RetryAfter header (seconds until next allowed request).
Header-driven pacing
Clients should pace requests using RateLimit-Remaining and RateLimit-Reset rather than fixed sleeps.
Monthly quota separation
Per-minute throttling and monthly Postman-API-call quotas are enforced independently; exceeding the monthly quota also returns 429.
Usage observability
Total and remaining monthly quota are visible on every response and on the Postman resource-usage dashboard.
