Weedmaps Rate Limits

Weedmaps publishes numeric rate limits for its partner API. A global limit of 2,500 requests per minute per integrator applies across all endpoints, enforced as 420 requests per 10 seconds. The OAuth2 access-token endpoint (/auth/token) is separately restricted to 1 request per minute, so clients are expected to cache and reuse the token rather than fetch one per call. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 Too Many Requests; Weedmaps recommends exponential backoff and consolidating requests.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

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

Tagged areas include Cannabis, Marketplace, Partner API, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
On 429 responses, implement exponential backoff and retry rather than hammering the endpoint.
Request Consolidation
Consolidate requests where feasible and batch menu-item updates to stay within the burst window.
Token Reuse
Fetch one access token and reuse it across requests until expiry; do not request a token per call given the 1/min token limit.
