Radio Browser Rate Limits

Documented rate limits for the Radio Browser community API. Radio Browser does not publish a general per-IP request quota for read endpoints, but it enforces per-interaction throttles on click counting and voting, and operators of individual mirrors may apply their own throttles. Clients are required to send a descriptive User-Agent header (appname/appversion) so the maintainer can reach them if a client is misbehaving.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, across the community tier, measuring votes_per_station_per_ip, clicks_per_station_per_ip, and requests_per_minute.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled and serviceUnavailable.

Tagged areas include Music, Open Data, Community, Rate Limiting, and Throttling.
