Rate Limits
The AthenaHQ API enforces the following rate limits:
- 60 requests per minute per API key
- No limit on total number of requests
Rate limits are enforced on a per-API-key basis. If you exceed the rate limit, subsequent requests will be rejected until the rate limit window resets.
All authenticated API responses include rate limit headers:
| Header | Description |
|---|
x-rate-limit-limit | Maximum requests allowed per minute (60) |
x-rate-limit-remaining | Requests remaining in the current window |
x-rate-limit-reset | Unix timestamp (seconds) when the rate limit resets |
When you exceed the rate limit (429 response), an additional header is included:
| Header | Description |
|---|
retry-after | Seconds to wait before retrying |
