Wto Rate Limits

Rate limit profile for the WTO API Developer Portal (apiportal.wto.org). The WTO does not publish explicit rate limit headers or documented thresholds. Community R client documentation notes a practical guideline of no more than one request per second to avoid throttling. The API is free and requires a subscription key obtained via the portal registration flow.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, across the free tier, measuring requests_per_second and requests_per_day.

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

Tagged areas include World Trade Organization, Trade Statistics, Tariffs, Open Data, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter when receiving 429 responses. Honor any Retry-After header if present.
Sequential Requests
Community guidance recommends issuing no more than one request per second when making bulk or batch queries against the Timeseries API.
API Key Required
All requests must include a valid subscription key (Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key or equivalent header) obtained from apiportal.wto.org. Keyless requests are not supported.
