Webflow Rate Limits

Webflow's Data API enforces a per-API-key, per-minute rate limit that scales with the site's subscription tier. Limits are scoped to the API key (each key has its own budget); cached reads against the content-delivery API are effectively unlimited. The Site Publish endpoint adds a hard "one successful publish per minute" limit on top of the per-minute call budget.

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

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute and varies.

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

Tagged areas include CMS, Ecommerce, No-Code, Web Development, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Per-Key Scoping
Rate limits are applied per API key. Different keys on the same site have independent budgets, so per-environment / per-app keys can be used to isolate noisy clients.
429 Handling
When throttled, the API returns 429 with a Retry-After header (typically 60 seconds). The official Webflow SDK implements exponential backoff automatically.
Webhooks Over Polling
Webflow recommends webhook subscriptions for change notifications instead of polling to keep within the per-minute budget.
