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, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

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

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.

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.
