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

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 API10 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.
