Akord imposes restrictions on the number of REST API requests permitted within a designated timeframe. We do that to mitigate potential abuse and to block denial-of-service attacks.
Other than general limits, the API allows a specific number of requests in time windows per subscription plan. Those limits are in place because of our infrastructure costs – higher requests rate generates bigger costs. You can find up-to-date API limits for each subscription plan on .
HTTP 429 is the API response that indicates crossing the API limit from your current plan. If you start receiving such responses, you may consider or lowering the request rate.
