Printful Rate Limits

The Printful API enforces a default limit of 120 requests per 60 seconds using a leaky-bucket algorithm, applied per access token / store. Some resource-intensive endpoints (for example mockup generation) have stricter per-endpoint limits. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

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