Rate limits

An organization’s API keys share one allowance, and people signed in to Summerbase have another, so an integration’s limits do not depend on who is using the app:

• 50 requests a second, any request, refilling continuously.
• 300 analytics requests a minute, on top of the 50 a second. An analytics request is one that computes from the revenue history — the metrics, the customers behind a value, customer searches and revenue movements — and its operation says so with x-analytics-request.
• 20 analytics requests running at once.

Every response counted says where it stands: RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, and RateLimit-Reset, the seconds until the allowance is whole again. A request over a limit is answered 429 with Retry-After in seconds and an error whose code names the limit: requests_per_second, analytics_requests_per_minute or concurrent_analytics_requests. Nothing was done, so the request can be sent again once that time has passed.
