API Rate Limits
Our APIs have variable rate limits depending on the endpoint. To ensure that requests complete and do not return a rate limiting error, we recommend throttling requests to the Management API based on the following rate limits provided.
We return a 429 Too Many Requests error to new API requests if the rate limit is exceeded for any given endpoint. Once that happens, we will reject new requests to that endpoint until rate limiting subsides. The rate limits are listed below:
| imgix API | Rate Limit |
|---|---|
default rate limit | 4 per second |
update source | 60 per hour |
create source | 60 per hour |
get asset | 10 per second |
refresh asset | 10 per minute |
upload v1 | 2 per second |
purge asset | 10 per second |
Premium Feature
Premium customers can contact their account manager to discuss modifying the rate limit for their account. If you do not have a premium plan and require a custom rate limit, please contact our sales team (opens in a new tab) for more information.
