Surveymonkey Rate Limits

SurveyMonkey API v3 rate limits depend on the application stage. Draft and Private apps are limited to 120 requests/minute and a daily ceiling starting at 500 calls/day. Public apps published to the SurveyMonkey App Directory can make up to 500,000 requests/day. 429 responses are returned when limits are exceeded.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

Limit state is signalled in the X-Ratelimit-App-Global-Minute-Limit, X-Ratelimit-App-Global-Minute-Remaining, X-Ratelimit-App-Global-Day-Limit, and X-Ratelimit-App-Global-Day-Remaining response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

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

Tagged areas include Surveys, Market Research, Feedback, NPS, and Forms.
