To ensure the quality of our services, Bodyguard's APIs are subject to rate limiting.
What is rate limit ?
A rate limit is the number of API calls an application or a user can make within a given time period.
API endpoint limits
Our API is limited to X requests per second.
Depending on your needs and offer, we will customize your rate limit amount.
If you exceed this rate, you will receive a 429 HTTP status code. Please wait the given time period has elapsed to make additional requests.
