Quix Rate Limits

Quix does not publish a fixed numeric rate-limit table for its HTTP and SignalR APIs. The practical throughput of the Streaming Writer API (HTTP), Streaming Reader API (SignalR/WebSocket), and Portal API is bounded by the capacity of the underlying managed Kafka and Kubernetes resources provisioned for your Quix Cloud environment rather than by a per-key request quota. Authentication uses Personal Access Tokens (PATs); expired or invalid tokens return HTTP 401 (or an UnAuthorizedHubError on the SignalR hub).

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and connections.

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

Tagged areas include Stream Processing, Real Time, Kafka, Python, and Streaming Data.

Limits

Streaming Writer API Throughput environment

HTTP ingest throughput is bounded by the managed Kafka / compute capacity of the environment, not a published per-key quota.
Streaming Reader API Connections environment

Concurrent SignalR (WebSocket) hub connections and subscriptions scale with the environment's provisioned resources.
Portal API Requests account

Account-wide management API; no fixed public request quota published.

Policies

Token Authentication
All API access requires a valid PAT bearer token; expired/invalid tokens return 401 (HTTP) or UnAuthorizedHubError (SignalR).
Capacity-Bound Throughput
Throughput scales with the managed Kafka and Kubernetes resources of the Quix Cloud environment rather than a per-key rate limit.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement retries with exponential backoff and reconnect logic for the SignalR hub.
