Screencloud Rate Limits

ScreenCloud does not publish fixed numeric rate limits for the Studio GraphQL API. Practical usage limits are governed by your subscription (the number of licensed screens on your plan) rather than by a documented per-minute request cap. As with any GraphQL API, request cost varies with query depth and the number of nodes requested, and bulk mutations (for example bulkUpdateScreenContent or sendCommandToScreensByScreenIds) act on many screens per call.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, nodes, and screens.

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

Tagged areas include Digital Signage, Screens, GraphQL, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Limits

Studio GraphQL API Requests token
requests
not published
No fixed numeric request-rate limit is documented for the Studio GraphQL endpoint.
Query Complexity request
nodes
not published
GraphQL request cost scales with query depth and node count; deep or wide queries may be rejected or slowed. Modeled, not published.
Licensed Screens account
screens
per plan
The number of screens you can manage is bounded by paid screen licenses on your Core, Pro, or Enterprise subscription.
Bulk Mutation Fan-Out request
screens
configurable per call
Bulk operations act on the list of screen IDs supplied; batch sizes are governed by the caller and by any internal limits, which are not published.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
Pagination
List queries expose ordering and pagination (OrderBy enums, cursor connections); page results rather than requesting unbounded lists.
Least-Privilege Tokens
Create API tokens with only the permissions needed rather than granting full access, to bound the blast radius of any single token.
