Product-Specific API Rate Limits
The BuildingConnected and TradeTapp APIs observe a set of rate limits 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.
Rate Limit
Following are the rate limits for the various types of BuildingConnected and TradeTapp API endpoints:
Endpoints | Limit (requests/minute) | Scope |
---|---|---|
All BuildingConnected API endpoints combined | 1000 | Per user account |
BuildingConnected POST, PATCH, and DELETE endpoints excluding batch endpoints | 60 | Per client ID |
BuildingConnected POST, PATCH, and DELETE batch endpoints | 10 | Per client ID |
All TradeTapp API endpoints combined | 1000 | Per user account |
Note that these rates are not service guarantees. In the uncommon case where total service use is too high across all clients, the accepted request rate may drop until traffic subsides.
Violation Notification
If an application makes a BuildingConnected or TradeTapp API request that exceeds this rate limit, the API returns an HTTP 429 error (described in detail in APS Rate Limits and Quotas).
Changing Limits
