Yahoo Rate Limits

Published rate limits for the Yahoo API surface. The Yahoo DSP Traffic API and DSP Reporting API both document per-user default quotas across rolling minute, hour and day windows, and the Traffic API exposes a live GET /traffic/ratelimit endpoint that returns the caller's own limits AND remaining balances. Limits are adjustable per account through the Yahoo account team. The Fantasy Sports API publishes no numeric limit - only a discretionary throttling statement. This file replaces a 2026-05-04 scaffold whose numbers were invented defaults.

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

It captures 17 rate-limit definitions, measuring get_requests_per_minute, put_requests_per_minute, post_requests_per_minute, get_requests_per_hour, and put_requests_per_hour.

The profile also includes 4 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and quotaExceededNote.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Throttling.

Policies

Account-level adjustment
DSP Traffic API rate limits are adjustable on an account-by-account basis; increases are requested through the Yahoo account team.
Fantasy Sports discretionary throttling
Yahoo publishes no numeric Fantasy Sports limit, stating only that "if individual usage is excessive over the course of short periods of time or impacts performance, we may temporarily throttle or limit access."
Reporting data recency
Data from events in the previous six hours may not appear in Reporting API output; the DSP console Insights view is the up-to-the-minute alternative.
Reporting data retention
Reporting API data is retained for 13 months; older data is purged.
