Validic Rate Limits

Validic's Inform REST API applies a default rate limit of 2,000 requests per access token per hour. Data-retrieval requests are additionally bounded by a maximum date range of 30 days per request; up to 1 year of data is available via the API (7 years are retained for compliance). The Streaming API is capped at 5 streams per customer with up to 3 concurrent client connections per stream, and emits a poke (heartbeat) event every 5 seconds to keep the connection alive.

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

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, days, streams, and connections.

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

Tagged areas include Health Data, Digital Health, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.
