Shippit Rate Limits

Shippit's Developer Centre navigation references a "Rate limits and latency" topic, but specific numeric per-account or per-endpoint request limits were not published in the pages reviewed. Integrations should assume standard HTTP throttling behavior, honor 429 responses with backoff, and confirm any exact limits with Shippit during onboarding.

It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring requests.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

A "Rate limits and latency" topic exists in the Developer Centre but numeric limits were not found in the reviewed pages.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
Pull Tracking Cadence
Pull-based tracking against /orders/{tracking_number}/tracking should be polled at a reasonable interval; prefer webhooks for push updates to reduce request volume.
