Uppsala Rate Limits

Uppsala University publishes no single institution-wide rate-limit table, but one of its APIs does publish an explicit, numeric quota. The UCDP Public API documents a hard limit of 5,000 requests per day per access token, with failed requests counting against that limit. The Norse World REST-API and the DiVA OAI-PMH endpoint publish no numeric limit; harvest politely and honour Retry-After.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests-per-day and unspecified.

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

Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, and Rate Limiting.

Limits

UCDP Public API daily quota access-token
requests-per-day
5000
Per free access token, issued by the UCDP maintainers after review of a stated research use (3-5 working days). Errors count towards the limit. The token is sent in the x-ucdp-access-token header; requests without it return 401.
Norse World REST-API client
unspecified
none published
No quota, key or throttle is documented and the endpoints answer anonymously (HTTP 200, application/json). Absence of a published limit is not permission to hammer it.
DiVA OAI-PMH harvesting client
unspecified
none published
No numeric limit is advertised in the Identify response. OAI-PMH resumption tokens pace bulk harvests; harvest incrementally with from/until rather than re-harvesting the full set.

Policies

Token required
UCDP access is gated by a free, manually reviewed token in the x-ucdp-access-token header. Tokens can be revoked or reissued on request to the API maintainer.
Backoff Strategy
Exponential backoff with jitter; honour Retry-After; harvest during off-peak hours.
