Thumbtack · Rate Limits

Thumbtack Rate Limits

Thumbtack's Demand API documents a fixed numeric rate limit of 360 requests per minute per partner. The Pro API's published reference does not state a numeric per-minute or per-day cap; partner-facing docs describe OAuth 2.0 token expiry/refresh but not a request-rate ceiling. Both APIs are approval-gated - Thumbtack can additionally throttle or revoke a partner's access as part of its partnership terms, independent of any published numeric limit.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, tokens, and access.

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 Local Services, Marketplace, Home Services, Leads, and Rate Limiting.

approval required
All API access (Demand and Pro) requires Thumbtack to approve the partner and issue credentials; there is no public self-serve tier.

Policies

Approval-Gated Access
Both the Docs and API Reference sections require clicking "Request Access"; Thumbtack reviews and approves partners before issuing OAuth 2.0 credentials.
Basic Auth Legacy Routes
Older v1/v2 Demand API routes and v1 Pro API routes use HTTP Basic authentication rather than OAuth 2.0.
