Storyblok Rate Limits

Storyblok publishes per-second rate limits on the Content Delivery API that vary by request type. Cached CDN requests get the highest ceiling (1,000 RPS); uncached single content entries and small listings allow 50 RPS, with limits scaling down as listing page size grows. Limits are per token/space. Beyond steady-state limits the API returns HTTP 429 and clients are expected to back off.

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

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_second.

The profile also includes 4 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include CMS, Content Delivery, Headless CMS, REST API, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Throttling Response
When the rate limit is exceeded the API returns HTTP 429; clients should pause and retry with backoff.
Caching
Storyblok recommends prioritizing cached requests, which have a 20x higher per-second ceiling than uncached single-entry requests.
Exponential Backoff
Use exponential backoff with jitter on retry to avoid synchronized retry storms.
Plan Quotas
Beyond per-second limits, monthly API request totals are bound by the subscribed plan (100k Starter, 1M Growth, 4M Growth Plus); overages above plan caps are billed at $10 per 1M extra requests.
