Sevdesk Rate Limits

sevdesk does not publish fixed numeric rate limits for its REST API in the official OpenAPI specification or developer documentation. In practice the API is a shared multi-tenant SaaS surface, so clients should assume server-side throttling exists and design defensively - use pagination (limit / offset), request only the fields needed, use the embed parameter to reduce round trips, and back off on throttling responses. Bulk and long-running work (DATEV / CSV exports) is handled asynchronously through export jobs polled at /Progress/getProgress, which naturally spreads load rather than requiring large synchronous requests.

Sevdesk Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for sevdesk on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

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

An exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

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

Tagged areas include Accounting, Invoicing, SaaS, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Limits

REST API Requests account
requests
not published
No fixed numeric request-rate limit is documented for the sevdesk API.
List Pagination request
records
configurable via limit / offset
List endpoints page results with the limit and offset query parameters.
Export Jobs account
jobs
async / progress-tracked
DATEV and CSV exports run as jobs polled at /Progress/getProgress instead of large synchronous calls.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
On 429 (or 5xx) responses, back off exponentially with jitter and honor any Retry-After header before retrying.
Payload Minimization
Use limit/offset and the embed parameter to fetch only needed records and nested resources, reducing request volume.
Asynchronous Export
Prefer the export-job endpoints for bulk data rather than repeatedly paging large synchronous result sets.
