Zeffy · Rate Limits

Zeffy Rate Limits

Zeffy's public API enforces a documented rate limit of 100 requests per minute per API key. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429. Connections are HTTPS-only. The API is read-only and free, so there is no separate paid quota tier - the same 100 requests/minute limit applies to every organization's API key.

Zeffy Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Zeffy 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 success, unauthorized, and throttled.

Tagged areas include Fundraising, Nonprofit, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.
