API rate limits
Orion Data API v1.3 · Latest
How the Orion Data API limits request rates and what happens when the limit is exceeded.
The Orion Data API enforces a rate limit on each user. The limit depends on the plan associated with your account.
Free tier limits
Section titled “Free tier limits”The Free tier is sized to match the historical usage of the API, so existing integrations should not need to change.
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Requests per minute | 60 |
| Requests per month | 1,000,000 |
Higher tiers
Section titled “Higher tiers”If your integration requires a higher request rate or monthly allowance, higher-tier plans are available. To upgrade, contact support@ewsmonitoring.com.
When the limit is exceeded
Section titled “When the limit is exceeded”Requests that exceed the rate limit return a 429 Too Many Requests response. Back off and retry after a short delay; the limit window resets continuously.
