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, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

Limit state is signalled in the Retry-After response header, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

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.

Plan polling intervals against this ceiling; it is 100x stricter than the general limit.

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.
