Wyzant Rate Limits

Wyzant does not publish numeric per-minute or per-second rate limits for its partner Search API. The one concrete usage constraint that is documented applies to the Tutor Data Feed: because the feed file is large, partners are asked to download it at most once per day, and Wyzant recommends refreshing a local copy at least once per week. The real-time Search API is meant for interactive, per-query use on a partner site and is gated by the requirement of a valid partner API key; no explicit request-rate ceiling is documented.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, downloads, and refresh.

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

Tagged areas include Tutoring, Affiliate, Partner API, Data Feed, and Rate Limiting.

API Key Required
Both the Search API and Data Feed require a per-partner API key issued from the partner dashboard.

Download the full tutor feed at most once per day and cache it locally rather than pulling it per page view.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on any 429 responses.
