Speakeasy Api Rate Limits

Speakeasy does not publish fixed numeric per-endpoint rate limits for its public REST API (https://api.prod.speakeasy.com). In practice the platform's economic limit is the plan's per-language operation allowance (250 operations per licensed language) rather than a per-minute request cap, because the API is a control plane for SDK generation rather than a high-volume runtime data API. Generation itself is bounded by CLI / GitHub Action execution and the size of your OpenAPI document, not by an API request quota.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, operations, languages, and jobs.

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

Tagged areas include SDK Generation, Developer Tools, API Lifecycle, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Limits

REST API Requests workspace
requests
not published
No fixed numeric request-rate limit is documented for the Speakeasy API.
Operations Per Language account
operations
250 per licensed language (Free and Business)
The primary economic quota; an operation is one GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE in your API interface.
Language Licenses account
languages
1 on Free; per-license on Business
Each licensed language may generate unlimited SDKs sharing one operation limit.
Code Sample Preview (Async) workspace
jobs
not published
Long code-sample previews use a polled async job (POST then GET by jobID); no documented concurrency cap.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients of the Speakeasy API should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
Operation-Based Metering
Cost and quota scale with the number of API operations generated per language, not with API request volume.
