Telus Rate Limits

TELUS explicitly states that rate limiting is NOT enforced on the Insights Location API, but it publishes hard usage guidance that consumers are expected to honour, plus query-shape floors that ARE enforced through 400 validation. Recorded as advisory limits, because that is exactly what TELUS publishes: "Currently Rate-limiting is not implemented for the API. However, in order to ensure the API performance and stability, it is strongly recommended that all users follow the below limitations."

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring queries_per_hour, queries_per_day, concurrent_queries, and records_per_page.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Location Intelligence, and Telecommunications.

Policies

Token reuse
Reuse the OAuth access token for its full 299-second lifetime rather than minting one per request — "That prevents the identity system from being overwhelmed."
Poll interval
Wait a minimum of 5 minutes between GET polls for job results.
Query decomposition
"In order to reduce the processing time, it is highly recommended to break down your queries for smaller date ranges."
