Soundcharts Rate Limits

The Soundcharts API enforces a per-minute request rate limit that is shared across all subscription tiers, on top of a monthly included-request quota that varies by plan. Soundcharts publishes that the rate limit is the same for all plans (on the order of several thousand requests per minute) and that monthly volumes range from roughly 500,000 to 60M+ requests. Specific numeric values are sales-led and not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

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

Tagged areas include Music, Analytics, Market Intelligence, Metadata, and Streaming.
