Usda Snap Rate Limits
The SNAP Retailer Location Data API is a free, anonymous, read-only Esri ArcGIS hosted Feature Service. USDA FNA does not publish a documented numeric per-account or per-IP request-rate limit for this service - no API key, quota, or tiering is required or offered. The only confirmed, documented ceiling is Esri's per-request `maxRecordCount` of 1,000 records, which callers work around with `resultOffset`/`resultRecordCount` pagination across the ~254,048 nationwide retailer records (count confirmed live via `returnCountOnly=true` on the review date). As a shared ArcGIS Online-hosted service, USDA's own platform capacity (and standard Esri/Cloudflare-level abuse protections) could still throttle or block clients that issue an unreasonably high request volume, but no published threshold exists for that behavior.
Usda Snap Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for USDA SNAP Retailer Locator on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.
It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring records, requests, and requests per minute.
The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.
Tagged areas include SNAP, USDA, Government Data, ArcGIS, and Rate Limiting.
