# Rate limiting

#### Handling rate limts <a href="#handling-rate-limts" id="handling-rate-limts"></a>

A  technique for handling rate limiting is to watch for `429` status codes and build in a retry mechanism. The retry mechanism should follow an exponential backoff schedule to reduce request volume when necessary.

When you are being rate limited you will receive a 'Retry-After' key in the response headers with how many seconds you should wait before trying again.

The current rate limit is **200 per minute.**
