The Monoscope API applies rate limits to ensure fair usage and platform stability.

Default Limits

Tier Requests per minute Burst
Free 60 10
Pro 300 50
Enterprise Custom Custom

Rate Limit Headers

Every API response includes rate limit information:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 300
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 297
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1705312800

Handling Rate Limits

When you exceed the limit, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests. Best practices:

  • Check headers — monitor X-RateLimit-Remaining proactively
  • Backoff and retry — wait until X-RateLimit-Reset (Unix timestamp) before retrying
  • Batch where possible — use broader time ranges instead of many narrow queries
