Skimmer Pool Rate Limits

Skimmer's Public API is rate limited to 500 requests per minute, evaluated per API key on a rolling 1-minute window. Each response carries standard RateLimit-* headers so clients can track their remaining budget, and requests over the limit are rejected with 429 Too Many Requests plus a Retry-After header. The developer portal documents a single rate-limit level (not tiered).

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

It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring requests.

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

Policies

Backoff Strategy
On a 429, honor the Retry-After header and implement exponential backoff with jitter; use RateLimit-Remaining / RateLimit-Reset to pace requests proactively.
Pagination
Use the Sieve-style search endpoints (page, pageSize, filters, sorts) to retrieve large result sets in bounded pages rather than exhausting the per-minute budget on wide scans.
