Wikimapia Rate Limits

Wikimapia enforces per-domain rate limits tied to the registered API key. Developers with a registered key may issue up to 100 requests in any 5-minute window. The public 'example' key is capped at roughly 1 request per 30 seconds. No HTTP retry-after headers or formal 429 response codes are explicitly documented; over-quota behavior should be handled with exponential back-off.

Wikimapia Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Wikimapia on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_window.

Limit state is signalled in the apiKey response header, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Geospatial, and Places.
