Overview
This article addresses the API rate limitations in Influitive. Understanding these limitations is crucial for optimizing API usage and ensuring that applications interacting with the Influitive API remain within the allowed thresholds to avoid disruptions.
Solution
Influitive has implemented rate limiting for its API to ensure fair usage and to protect against potential misuse. Here are the specifics of the rate limitations:
-
API Rate Limitation:
- The current limit is a maximum of 200 requests from a single IP address within any 5-minute period.
-
Security Measures:
- Influitive uses AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) with bot detection enabled. This setup helps in identifying and blocking suspicious behavior or potential attacks. If AWS WAF deems any activity as suspicious, the requests will be blocked.
It is important to monitor the number of API calls made and ensure that the requests do not exceed the specified limit to avoid being blocked by the firewall.
