Smartsimple Rate Limits

SmartSimple's SmartConnect JSON REST API publishes concrete throughput guidance. Each instance is limited to roughly 1,000 API calls per hour, and a single List call returns at most 10,000 records - larger result sets must be paged with recordsperpage, recordstart, and pagenum. SmartSimple explicitly notes the API is not intended for high-volume bulk export or import. Rate limits for the OData reporting service and the legacy SOAP Web Services API are not separately documented and are governed by the customer instance and its hosting model.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and records.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for unauthorized.

Tagged areas include Grants Management, SaaS, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Not For Bulk Transfer
SmartConnect is documented as not intended for high-volume data export or import; design integrations to stay within the hourly call ceiling.
Authentication Failures
Invalid credentials, a non-API user, or an incorrect companyid return 401 Unauthorized.
