Tekmetric Rate Limits

Tekmetric does not publish numeric rate limits for its partner API, since the API reference itself is gated behind manual approval. The only public evidence of rate-limit behavior comes from beetlebugorg/tekmetric-mcp, an independent open-source client that self-throttles to 10 requests/second (burst of 10) and retries on HTTP 429 and 5xx responses with exponential backoff - a defensive posture chosen by that client's author, not a limit confirmed as Tekmetric's actual server-side threshold.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

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

Tagged areas include Automotive, Auto Repair, Shop Management, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Limits

Client-Side Global Rate Limit (third-party client) client
requests
10 requests/second, burst of 10 (self-imposed by tekmetric-mcp, not a published Tekmetric limit)
Not an officially documented Tekmetric limit; reflects one client's defensive throttling.
Tekmetric API Requests account

not published
No numeric per-account or per-endpoint request-rate limit is publicly documented by Tekmetric.

Policies

Retry with Backoff
Third-party client behavior treats HTTP 429 and 5xx responses as temporary and retries with exponential backoff; not confirmed as an official Tekmetric-documented policy.
OAuth Token Reuse
The OAuth token endpoint is reported as idempotent - repeated calls return the same token rather than issuing a new one - and tokens are reported not to expire unless explicitly revoked by Tekmetric, reducing the need for frequent re-authentication calls.
