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.

Response Headers

All authenticated API responses include rate limit headers:
HeaderDescription
x-rate-limit-limitMaximum requests allowed per minute (60)
x-rate-limit-remainingRequests remaining in the current window
x-rate-limit-resetUnix timestamp (seconds) when the rate limit resets
When you exceed the rate limit (429 response), an additional header is included:
HeaderDescription
retry-afterSeconds to wait before retrying

API Availability

The AthenaHQ API is available exclusively for Enterprise accounts as an add-on feature. Contact your account manager to enable API access for your organization.
