API call : rate limit about ossindex-public HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi Rémy,

Thank you for your interest in OSS Index! Anonymous (without an account) users have a limit of 16 requests, and authenticated (with an account) users have a limit of 64 requests. Once the limit has been reached, every 1 minute the capacity increases by 1 until it reaches the full value. There is a limit of 128 components per HTTP request.

Please let us know if you have any further questions!

Hi @anastasia-vanriet ,
I was wondering if maybe anything changed recently in the rate limits of the OSSIndex API? We see in the logs of our pipelines that we start hitting rate limits (status code 429) already somewhere between 5 and 7 requests per minute, and this is in authenticated mode. Are the below numbers still accurate?

• 64 requests per minute for authenticated requests
• 16 requests per minute for unauthenticated requests
• After hitting the rate limit: increase rate by 1 request per minute

Hi @p3pijn,

I can confirm that you numbers you listed are still accurate.

To enable us to better assist you, we will require some information for troubleshooting purposes. Could you send us the email address(es) and/or IP address(es) with which you are seeing this behavior, as well as the exact message that accompanies the 429 status codes? You can email the information to [email protected] and reference this thread.
