Rippling Rate Limits

Limits

Per Token Default token
requests
Default sliding-window limit applied per access token. 429 returned with Retry-After header when exceeded.
Listing / Search Endpoints token
requests
Higher cost per request; use pagination cursors and avoid wide list polling.
SCIM Provisioning connection
requests
SCIM provisioning is rate-limited per IdP connection; large bulk operations should be batched.
Webhook Delivery subscription
events
Webhooks are delivered with retry-on-5xx; receivers must respond within the platform timeout to avoid retry storms.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses; honor Retry-After and avoid retrying without elapsed wait.
Pagination
Always paginate list endpoints rather than scanning entire collections to remain inside per-endpoint limits.
Webhook-Plus-Polling
Prefer webhooks for change notification and reduce poll frequency on list endpoints.
