Introduction

Limits

Ada’s API enforces rate and data limits to ensure stability and prevent abuse. These limits are applied per Ada instance.

Some API-related limits are feature-specific and configurable. Actions are one way Ada APIs are used to integrate with external systems, and they have their own settings and limitations. For details on Action-specific restrictions, see Limitations.

Rate Limits

Default Rate Limits

Unless otherwise specified, the following default rate limits apply across all Platform API endpoints:

  • Requests per day: 10,000
  • Requests per minute: 100
  • Requests per second: 10

Exceeding these limits will result in a 429 Too Many Requests error. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and jitter to handle these responses and minimize disruptions.

API-Specific Rate Limits

Some APIs have their own specific rate limits that differ from the defaults:

APIPer-Second LimitPer-Day Limit
Data Export API3 requests/second (per endpoint)15,000 requests/day

Refer to the documentation for each API endpoint for complete details on rate limits and any additional restrictions.

Data Limits

  • Max request body size: 10MB

Exceeding this size will result in a 413 Content Too Large error.

Some endpoints may also enforce local data limits. Refer to the documentation for each API endpoint for details on additional restrictions.
