Rate Limits

The Ruddr API enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and platform stability.

Limits

API requests are rate limited to 20 requests per second. This limit is shared across all API keys in a workspace.

429 Too Many Requests

When the rate limit is exceeded, the API returns a 429 response:

{
  "status": 429,
  "message": "Too many requests"
}

Retry Guidance

When you receive a 429 response, retry the request after a short delay. Use exponential backoff to avoid overwhelming the API:

attempt 1 → wait 1s
attempt 2 → wait 2s
attempt 3 → wait 4s
attempt 4 → wait 8s

Here’s a pseudocode example:

maxRetries = 5
baseDelay  = 1 second

for attempt = 1 to maxRetries:
    response = makeRequest()

    if response.status != 429:
        return response

    delay = baseDelay * (2 ^ (attempt - 1))
    sleep(delay)

raise "Max retries exceeded"

If you’re regularly hitting rate limits, consider reducing the concurrency of your requests or adding a small delay between calls.
