BIM 360: Locations API Rate Limits
The BIM 360 Locations API observes a rate limit to ensure that all clients get sufficient service and that runaway applications don’t consume excessive resources. You’ll find general information about rate limits in APS Rate Limits and Quotas.
Note that this rate limit is not a service guarantee. In the uncommon case where total service use is too high across all clients, the accepted request rate may drop until traffic subsides.
Rate Limit
This rate limit applies per application (specified by client ID) and is measured across all Locations API endpoints combined:
Endpoints | Limit (requests/minute) | Scope |
---|---|---|
All Locations API endpoints combined | 600 | Per application (by client ID) |
All Locations API endpoints combined | 200 | Per APS user account |
Violation Notification
If an application makes a Locations API request that exceeds this rate limit, the Locations service returns an HTTP 429 error (described in detail in APS Rate Limits and Quotas).
Changing Limits
APS Rate Limits and Quotas describes how to request rate limit changes for APS APIs.
