Shipmonk Rate Limits
ShipMonk applies rate limits per account (merchant) on a rolling basis. Every endpoint except the Orders List endpoint shares a default ceiling of 100,000 requests per minute; GET /v1/integrations/orders-list is throttled far harder at 1,000 requests per 30 minutes. Exhaustion returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header carrying an RFC 1123 date.
Shipmonk Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for ShipMonk on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.
It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.
The profile also includes 1 backoff/retry policy defined and response codes documented for throttled.
Tagged areas include Logistics, Fulfillment, 3PL, Rate Limiting, and Throttling.

Policies
Backoff strategy
Read the Retry-After header and wait until that time before retrying. Implement exponential backoff for sustained 429s. Retrying immediately does not restore tokens faster and may extend throttling.
