Too many requests

You sent too many requests and exceeded the API rate limit.

Solution

The API returns information about the applied rate limits in the header of every response. Check these header elements:

• X-RateLimit-Limit shows the applied request limit per minute.
• X-RateLimit-Remaining shows the number of available requests you have left for the current time window.
• X-RateLimit-Retry-After shows the number of seconds left until the current rate limit window resets.

api.video recommends that you implement a retry method in your app that responds to the 429 - Too many requests error. You can scale down your request volume and return the failed, rate limited requests to your queue to wait according to the value of X-RateLimit-Retry-After.
