WM · Rate Limits

Wm Rate Limits

WM's published API documentation (portal overview, authentication/security page, and release notes) does not disclose numeric rate limits, request quotas, or throttling behavior for the Customer API. Because access is granted case-by-case per partner/customer via a WM-issued ClientId and JWT, it is likely any throughput ceilings are negotiated or enforced per-ClientId rather than published as a general policy, but this is not confirmed in the public documentation.

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

It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring requests.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Waste Management, Enterprise, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

not published
No fixed numeric request-rate limit is documented for any api.wm.com resource.

Policies

Credentialed Access Only
Every request requires an Authorization Bearer JWT and a WM-issued ClientId header; there is no anonymous or self-serve tier to rate-limit.
Request Tracking
Every request must include a Request-Tracking-Id header, which WM echoes back - useful for correlating and auditing call volume even though no public quota is documented.
