Question

rate-limits from http response


Robert Willemelis

Hello,

 

  1. Are there more information about the rate limits?
  2. Can I read my current rate limit usage from the header during a e.g. curl request?
    this seems not to work for file api or versions api like chatGPT suggests

    response:
    HTTP/2 200
    content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8

  3. can I see somewhere else how much request I did (or credits I used)?

 

regards,

 

Robert

Hi ​@Robert Willemelis,

 

For your first question, we don't actually have public documentation for API rate limits at the moment. It's an older post, but you might still find this forum thread interesting: 

https://forum.figma.com/archive-21/rest-api-rate-limit-15957

 

As for your second and third questions, I'll ask around internally, and if I learn anything, I’ll update.

 

Thanks,


Robert Willemelis

Hi ​@Junko3 ,

 

yes this one post I know … but was looking for sth. more relyable :-)

 

And in case you dont show remaing rate budget via header, it would be awesome if figma could do so in future. Thats a common and easy way for developer to avoid issues :-)

 

Kind regards,

 

Robert
