  • Supports a rate limit mechanism which handles as prescribed by the IETF implementation. For more information, refer to RateLimit Header Fields for HTTP.

    The rate limiting mechanism is engaged after receiving the 429 status code in the response. An exponential back-off depending upon the Retry-After response header occurs before attempting the re-trigger of the request. At maximum, the API request re-trigger is attempted at, twice, after receiving the first 429 response. The URL is encoded regardless of the throttleEnabled flag value.
