Propeller Aero Rate Limits

Propeller does not publish specific numeric rate limits for the Public API in its public documentation. As a paid, plan-gated REST API, access is scoped by subscription entitlement (Public API is available on higher tiers such as Scale) rather than by a metered per-call quota. Clients should assume standard HTTP throttling protections apply, handle HTTP 429 responses, and honor any Retry-After header. Survey-file download URLs are time-limited.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and expiry.

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

Tagged areas include Drone Survey, Geospatial, Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Throttling.

Policies

Plan-Gated Access
Public API is a premium entitlement of higher tiers (e.g. Scale); availability is controlled by subscription rather than metered usage.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on HTTP 429 responses.
