Salsa · Rate Limits

Salsa Rate Limits

Salsa is a partner-gated embedded payroll API and does not publish specific public rate-limit thresholds. Access is scoped to a partner API key (separate sandbox and production keys), and per-endpoint request limits are governed by the partner agreement. Standard HTTP 429 throttling with Retry-After and exponential backoff should be assumed. Money-movement and payroll-run operations are additionally gated by employer account standing, funding readiness, and onboarding status rather than by raw request throughput.

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

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

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

Tagged areas include Payroll, Embedded Finance, Fintech, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on HTTP 429.
Readiness Gating
Money-movement endpoints depend on employer/worker onboarding and account-standing state, surfaced via webhooks, rather than only rate limits.
Environment Separation
Sandbox and production use distinct base URLs and distinct API keys; limits and quotas are governed per environment.
