Snapchat Rate Limits

Snap publishes two-level rate limits on its Marketing API. App-scope limits apply across every Access Token issued to a registered Snap developer application; token-scope limits apply per individual Access Token. When either average is exceeded the API returns HTTP 429 and Snap recommends slowing the request rate. Snap does not document specific Retry-After or X-RateLimit headers in the published rate-limits page.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_second.

Limit state is signalled in the request, response, retry_after, and note response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

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

Tagged areas include Advertising, AR, Marketing, Social Media, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
When the API returns 429, Snap's documented guidance is to lower the rate at which the app sends requests. Specific Retry-After header behavior is not documented; clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter.
Two-level scoping
Both the application-wide cap (20 req/s) and the per-token cap (10 req/s) apply simultaneously. Distributing load across more tokens does not bypass the application-wide ceiling.
