Smarthr Rate Limits

SmartHR publishes numeric rate limits for its API in the API overview documentation. Limits apply both per access token and per subdomain (tenant). Responses expose the remaining quota and reset time via `x-rate-limit-*` headers, and there is a separate, tighter "intensive" limit surfaced through `x-intensive-rate-limit-*` headers for heavier operations. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

Limit state is signalled in the x-rate-limit-limit, x-rate-limit-remaining, x-rate-limit-reset, and x-intensive-rate-limit-limit response headers, and 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 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include HR, Human Resources, Japan, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

A tighter "intensive" limit applies to heavier operations, surfaced via x-intensive-rate-limit-* headers.

Policies

Pagination
List endpoints use page (from 1) and per_page (default 10, max 100), with a Link header (first/last/next/prev) and x-total-count.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should honor the x-rate-limit-reset / x-intensive-rate-limit-reset values and back off with jitter on 429 responses.
