Printify Rate Limits

The Printify API enforces a global rate limit of 600 requests per minute per account, with stricter sub-limits on catalog endpoints (100 requests per minute) and product publishing (200 requests per 30 minutes). Requests that exceed a limit return 429 Too Many Requests. Printify also requires the error rate to stay below 5% of total requests.

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

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

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